14 DAY TRIAL // Google Book Search is one of the most updated services provided by the search giant, the company trying to improve it periodically to keep the solution powerful. Google Book Search allows users to search for books from all around the world, preview some pages and information about authors, covers and photographers. Last week, Google said that the Maps service now enables you to find places that are mentioned in books, being displayed only in specific areas that are also part of the publications.
The service is quite useful for all the readers that are looking to read or buy a new book because Google Book Search also provides you multiple buy links from Amazon, Froogle or BookSense. The search giant also tried to make it accessible to every user of the solution, offering multiple methods or places to borrow the book but only for specific locations.
The update mania is continued this week with another improvement made by Google for the Book Search service. This time, the company said that Google Book Search now provides even more powerful features for finding and visualizing books, being updated with a complementary function for the improvement announced last week.
"As of yesterday, this sort of information became a lot easier to find as well as visualize: there's now a Book Search feature on the "About this book" page which shows readers the places mentioned in a particular book and pinpoints them on a map. Clicking around on the map for Extreme Cuisine, I quickly found out that dogs are on the menu in Seoul, Roman emperors enjoyed dormice, Melbourne residents serve up emu and crocodile, and Mopani worms are available in Johannesburg," Chiu-Ki Chan, Software Engineer, sustained in a blog post on the official site.
