Just yesterday I was reading pages from a scanned book about Apple's iLife suite at Google Books. Depending on the copyright status, the number of pages available will be limited. Since the book I was looking at was recent there were large gaps. Some of the information I was looking for was absent. But there were other books on the topic. So I was able to find out what I needed to know. They provide links to order the book and other related Google ads. It is a great resource for looking a book over before ordering it on line. Similar to the scanned pages that Amazon sometimes provides, but Google was much easier to use and not as sluggish. If I decide to use iLife for an upcoming project, I will definitely buy several of the books I say on Google Books. ************************************************************************ * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?
