Google books

I don't understand the point of providing links to google books for books that they do not provide the complete text for. If there's just snippet views provided, what's the point? Does WP have a policy on this? If the full text is provided, then I can see that would be a useful external link. Good Ol’factory (talk) 22:49, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree limited previews are marginally useful. Sometimes books on Google Books have snippet views, but I've selected books where you may still access their complete document in original scanned layout, usually by downloading the pdf. Which book are you referring to? User:Rich jj 22:59, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Just some of the ones added to Orson F. Whitney and James E. Talmage. I tried to get full views but could not no matter what I tried, so I deleted the links. You can restore them if I'm mistaken. Good Ol’factory (talk) 23:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
