This module can be used to insert

  • book data from Google into pages using Drupal filters, There are options to include / exclude any data fields,
  • a book cover image when it exists
  • and for books with a full or partial preview, the Javascript Google book reader for the volume.
There are many search options with Google books and many options to display that data within the Google Book module. The API pulls data from Google Books in a generic way. This module includes data caching so once the book information is loaded the first time with a request for JSON data, the subsequent requests are very fast.
