Task 11- Google Books

Google Books is a tool I thought I was familiar with but discovered not necessarily true. Like most technologies and everyday things in our lives we merely touch the surface. I have used Google Books primarily to look for books that I am having trouble sourcing but that is only one aspect of it.

Who knew you could create your own library?

I also took the time to explore it a little more and found an interesting quote from one of the authors here is an excerpt from her quote:
"Someone asked me recently, 'Meghann, how can you say you don't mind people reading parts of your book for free? What if someone xeroxed your book and was handing it out for free on street corners?' I replied, 'Well, it seems to be working for Jesus.'"
Meghann Marco
