Where can i find info on book's, online?

Question

i don't want to buy the book's i just want a website that tell's you about the book.

Answer 1

TO BUY THEM THEY'RE CHEAP ON EBAY OR AMAZON OR YOU COULD GOOGLE IT FOR A SUMMARY OF THE BOOK

Answer 2

Depends on what type of book you're looking for.

If it's a fairly famous book, or a classic, chances are there will be whole sites devoted to the novel and it's characters - just try searching the name of the novel on any search engine. You may also find summaries or discusssions of things like symbols and themes and such on sites like Sparknotes.com.

I would recommend going to Amazon.com or Barnesandnoble.com. You can read the summary of the book, read excerpts for some, and even read reviews of the book. You can read a whole first chapter for some select books.

Google and Yahoo are always good if you're just looking for some basic information, and a lot of authors have their own webpages, where you can look up information on their work.

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

Usually Amazon.com has info about individual books, and you can read the first few pages of many of them.

Or if you have books by a specific author in mind, look up the author's website--most authors include information about each of their books on their site, and many of them include excerpts or first chapters.  

Answer 4

You can often find summaries in Wikipedia and book reviews in Amazon.

Be careful of on line reading. Books that are classics and the author is long dead are legal to read.

However current books are usually NOT legal to read unless the author gives links on his or her website and invites you to read for free. Not many want to give away their work for free. That is understandable because writing books is how they make a living.

Cory Doctorow is one of the few I know that don't mind.

Don't deal with the book pirates that steal an author's profits by tearing a book apart page by page and scanning it, then posting it on line for others to steal.

Some public libraries have paid for licenses to put ebooks on their site but you have to type in your library card number.

Here is a publisher website where the authors have agreed to put their work out for free.
