Hi
I have been practicing with Google Books today. I thought I would
report my findings so far. First I search for a fraise,, next I press enter
on the link that indicates that the entire book is available. After that
I'm sure many of you know that Googel is involved in a big copyright dispute
over its plans to scan and make available on the web over 6 million books.
A lot of publishers do not want this to happen. Stay tuned. marilyn

Hi marilyn,
Actually, it is a good idea to look at RFB but they do not have this
book. I am a member of RFB. I would highly recommend them.
God bless,

Hi
Recently, it was pointed out to me that Google Books has a text book I
need to read part of. Unfortunately all I am finding in the book are graphics.
No screen reader friendly text. Am I missing something? Is there a way to
access this book?
God bless,
