[edit] Does it already work?

Tried it, but it just gives me "web results". Is the book search restricted to some IPs or not live at all?--Hhielscher (talk) 21:49, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Mhm. It works right now. Any insight on the trigger is welcome.--Hhielscher (talk) 21:53, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Doesn't work for me BSkliarWard (talk)

Apparently it only works in USA. Unlike Google Books, using a US proxy server doesn't seem to work, and also the loophole of changing one's language to US English in Firefox has been closed. Seems very unfair to us here in UK as the British Library is a major contributor.--PeterR (talk) 12:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] search.live.com not a valid source?

"The reference source is not valid."? Why is search.live.com not a valid source?
The site referenced clearly states "We're sorry, but at this time Live Search Books only supports Internet Explorer and Firefox web browsers."--Hhielscher (talk) 09:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
