What’s the big deal about that? Well, I wanted to get rid of these gift cards before I lose them. Argh. But what can people give a giant turkey nerd but a gift card for books. Hardware! But that’s a different rant. Anyway, I was writing my great American novel this moring on my handy dandy wiki when I used a phrase. I searched that phrase but could onl find it in Google’s Book search. It was very handy.
“the long sobs of the violins of autumn …”
So it gave me confirmation of the quote I wanted. (You wonder how I even remember that? I tell every one that I am a font of useless knowledge. Watch me play Jeopardy!)
So Google Books did make a sale for the publisher. They wouldn’t have gotten that sale without it.
Interesting?
