This is the first release 7.x-1.0 of Google Books for Drupal 7, which is a filter module that inserts book data, cover images, and an in-line book reader from books.google.com. For books that are in public domain and fully scanned by Google, entire books can be embedded on Drupal sites. Book information can be embedded using simple google book searches. Examples:
[google_books:drupal+7+development]
[google_books:isbn:1556508093]
[google_books:tolkien+encyclopedia]
[google_books:soccer+football+europe]
[google_books:great expectations]
and with options:
[google_books:The Hobbit | no_librarything | no_image | viewer | no_title | author | no_description]
Options include global setup for all book data, and each book can be individually configured to include or exclude more data or options, like the book cover image (if it exists), the reader, and individual fields. Book data loaded from Google contains a variety different bibliographic fields, so some books will have images for instance, and some will not. Any valid search in at books.google.com should work with this module.
Links are also included to other resources like corresponding pages of Google Books, Open Library, Worldcat book finder (library), and LibraryThing. The output is theme-able, and multiple books can be embedded on a page.
Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
