Google Books Search

[rice.shawn]

Here's a quick way to search Google Books:

 

Download it from Packal.

 

It grabs some book images for you in the background so that searches will features them, although image downloading is pushed to the background so it doesn't slow down the script filter. It caches searches for a month (which seems reasonable for Google books), so subsequent searches are prety quick.

 

Selecting a result will open the Google books page.

 

I needed this for my own use, and so, using Alphred, I wrote in in less than the time that I took to drink a beer, but I figured that others might enjoy using it, so I'm sharing it here. I'm open to feature requests.

 

Cheers.
