    Love your site immensely. Could you kindly share with me, as how do I do the Google Books search as what you did for this post?

    1. It’s quite easy … when you do a normal Google search, there is usually a “Books” option to focus the results (it’s usually under the “More” menu). You can also just start your search at https://books.google.com/ . Hope that helps.

          1. Ah. It’s the difference between the new and old interfaces of Google Books. The Moliere one pulls up the classic interface, the one on this page pulls up the new one.

            In the classic, you’d get the URL from the little link icon toward the top. In the new interface, you’d the More Actions menu, then Share, then Copy.

            So to get a new interface link, you’d need to “Try the new Google Books” when the banner comes up; if you want to switch back, the new interface has a “Back to classic Google Books” link at the top.

            Hope that helps. Also hope that the old links will continue to work when Books goes fully to the new interface. 🙂

    Strangely, until now I have yet to come across the “Try the New Google Books” banner when I am at Google Books site.
    Thank you so much Dave for your clarification. You have a great day.
