Microsoft Book Search - EXCELLENT

[DAVEM]

Hi All,
Have you seen this:

http://search.live.com/results.aspx?q=&scope=books

It's great, I did a couple of searches and found some books that I've always wanted to read, but never got around too. If you wanted to, you could research the originals of most any theory/subject

WD Microsoft IMO

(I did a quick search to see if this has been posted but couldn't find anything)

c'mon, google launched a service like that many months - if not a year - ago!

Just seen it, and it owns the MS version!

Sorry

Oh dear..... just searched for "harry potter" and "harry potter and the gobblet"


Nothing.

Well the book has to be publically available (i.e. expired copyright or never copyrighted) I think!

EDIT: plus I think it's more important that something like Keynes thesis on probability is available

^^^ perhaps. but this is a book search available to everyone. Massive titles such as ANY of the harry potter books should be on there, dont you think?

Well if they're copyrighted I presume MS would have to pay everytime it was accessed, I can't see them being willing to pay
