Google Books links
I'm curious, does Google Books allow you to preview all the links you have added here? Many don't even have snippet view for me. So the links don't really help with the verification more than the ISBN alone does, from where I sit. (I have actual copies.) Have mörser, will travel (talk) 05:36, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
Also, I find dubious the exact date (day, month) that Google somehow conjures for book publication. The year is usually sufficient, and often the only such information in the book itself. Have mörser, will travel (talk) 05:38, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
- It does not let me preview all of them, however I also fill in and standardize book references at the same time. Most of the publication dates are that of the initial release date, with a little bit of leg work is fairly easy to verify. ΔT The only constant 10:49, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
- Release dates are not publication dates, change the bot to not give them; only the year of publication is cited in ALL referencing styles. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 13:04, 21 September 2011 (UTC).
