Google Books Tricks
- Use the lone asterisk to create fill-in-the-blank searches, such as "preaching * prosperity" or "faith movement * Hagin"
- Search for a name in the AUTHOR field; add other words, phrases or partial phrases in text fields. Ex. Kenneth Copeland in AUTHOR, dollar in With ALL the Words.
- Search for one word/idea in the TITLE field, another in text. Ex. world war in title, salvation army as phrase in text...and vice versa!
- Use publication date limits to find books published during a certain time span. Ex. Billy Sunday * revival in phrase, publication dates between 1920 and 1940
- Look for the Find In Library link when you find a good book. Some books let you see more online than others.
