Finding new & forthcoming books with Google Book Search
Written on May 31, 2007
With the recent addition of ‘analog’ records to Google Book Search (discussed in my last post), the Advanced Book Search can be used as a rough way to find new books on your favorite topic, although the lack of any subject search limits its functionality.
Searching by publication date between 2007 and 2008 for books with ‘consciousness’ in the title, for example, returned 99 titles (results will vary). If the title search doesn’t give the right focus, a broader search can be performed for words or phrases in the title plus description, as in this example.
