A significant extension of their "Look Inside the Book" feature, Search Inside the Book allows you to search millions of pages to find exactly the book you want to buy. Now instead of just displaying books whose title, author, or publisher-provided keywords match your search terms, your search results will surface titles based on every word inside the book. More than 120,000 titles - 33 million pages. Very cool.

Check it out! (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/10197021/ref%3Dsib%5Fmerch%5Fgw/103-3151691-7819037)

Wow, that really works! I just searched on some obscure 19th century guitar builder whom I am researching and came up with not only with relevant informations, but pictures as well.

I love it!
