This was discussed at great length on NPR a few months ago.
They said it was a great way to do exactly what Tom said, get an idea of the book so you can see if you want to buy.
I believe that the reason Music producers and Hollywood want to limit the publics access to their product is they want them to buy one size fits all stuff, no customizing or choices (al a cart on music)

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?
