You may have heard of Google Books, a resource the search engine has added in their quest to put all things on the internet. Working with several major libraries they have begun scanning books and making them available in limited or full versions online, including many travel books and guides. Just type in the the name of the place you are visiting followed by the word guide in their search box and all available books will be displayed. If you decide you’d like to purchase one of the books or borrow it from a library, Google will offer links for both options.
