Default All About Tea

Google Books has an entry for the book. No preview not even the title
page. Usually you get the TOC or the cross reference in the back. It
could be in the process of digitizing or they dont have a copy. There
was a recent article in the NYTimes where Google in a court case has
to make a good faith effort to notify the authors of expired copyright
material that they are making the material available. Which raises
the question, what is the point. For all you used book dealers who
are probably crying, Point 1 who says you are allowed to profit just
because you have a copy, Point 2 if it looks interesting enough on
Google Id probably buy your copy.

I agree with that point I have been exposed to much material via
internet, for example "the book of tea", http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Tea,
i have it in txt pdf doc and abc..... joking about the abc,... but I
still had to go out and buy not one but two, this book can be bought
cheap, one in original English and another that is in japanese/
english. i want to buy the "all about tea" book, but the price is
high and i dont mean the original 1935, i am talking about a copy
(reprint) over 100bucks!! remember i am talking about a reprint, it is
great work, i thought i had the entire book on my computer but i
dont,

You can use Google Books to find out what other books quote "All About
Tea" ie find the string. Somebody must be making a serious point
about tea. I zeroxed more than a few Chinese grammar books at the
library. I probably paid more than waiting and buying a used copy.
All the books are on Google. I use that for searchable content.
Google will provide the page reference even if not available for
preview.
