Google Books – catalogue your home library

A feature, which may have existed for a while – but I’ve just discovered on google books is the ability to add the books you already own to an online catalogue on google books.

Once done, and if google has already ocr’ed the book, you can search for content in your library (ie. from the actual text of the books). So if you cant remember where you read that recipe for mongolian yak milkshake, google could probably help.

Brilliant!

(Apparently you can also import your books by scanning the barcodes)
