Need to know how the fashion fussy Victorian House Wife decorated her home? Google Book Search will tell you... in the words and pictures of that era!

Just Google Arts and Crafts furniture in the Google Book Search and see what comes up and WHO Wrote the Books your reading for FREE! Amazing Resource.

You can down load most of the books and keep them on hand for later reading or research when you need it. This is great because you can find Books and Pamphlets on the most obscure subjects, written during the era your interested in.

Want a more modern more academic view point? Try Google Scholar.
Google Scholar provides a simple way to broadly search for scholarly literature. From one place, you can search across many disciplines and sources: peer-reviewed papers, theses, books, abstracts and articles, from academic publishers, professional societies, preprint repositories, universities and other scholarly organizations. Google Scholar helps you identify the most relevant research across the world of scholarly research.

Features of Google Scholar

* Search diverse sources from one convenient place
* Find papers, abstracts and citations

Exploring Google is fun and normally pays off in a big way. But it's not the only way we can skin a cat.....
