Yesterday Google Book Search officially launched a set of free tools to allow anyone to embed books from the Google Book Search Index. And it also introduces Book Search API for greater integration to its search index and readers’ ratings, reviews and book collections.

BookJetty is glad to be able to integrate with Google Book Search, by introducing a new list type that indicates if book previews are available, and the embedded book preview just makes it feel closer to having a real bookshelf.

I’m really happy for this new addition to BookJetty, find it very handy to check out if books are worth a read, and glad to have BookJetty mentioned as one of its case studies.

I’m glad to announce BookJetty first books giveway, thanks to Hachette Book Group USA, 10 best selling books offered for free to host Back to School Book Bonanza! For 5 lucky BookJetty users.

To be entitled, you just need to write one book review in the month of September, and winners will be picked up randomly. I’ll inform the winners through email on October 1.

There’s only one catch, according to Hachet Book Group USA, the giveaway is only for BookJetty users residing in United States and Canada, sorry guys. So do remember to update your country profile in BookJetty.
