Format:Paperback
The problem with very big books on the internet or computing is that they quickly become out of date. This one is only likely to do so if Google themselves further develop their business model.
It covers everything I needed and more. However SEO is a good section but very lightly discussed; it passes the buck to linked services. I followed them and it seemed interesting but I would have like the authors' opinion on their worth.
I liked particularly the adsense and adwords section.
What I didnt realise till I read the book is that much of the information is available directly online from Google if you know where to look.
Book published July 2006, so it should be good for another year or so yet, before the market overtakes it.
I would have liked to see a few blank pages at the end of the book for handwritten notes on updates etc.

Antidote to Google Burnout
8 Jan 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As webweaver and search optimizer for my company, I'm always on Internet information overload. There's a lot to be said for any book that gives me ready access to the many topics I need to access only occasionally, as well as the many others I didn't even know I needed to know about. This book excels at taking you into the confusing fine points of using Google. Blogger tags vs. HTML? I finally got it. Self-hosting your blog? Got that, too. The subtleties of sitemaps ... at last! Yes, with a great deal of effort and eye strain you could find much of this information on Google itself. I, for one, am happy to have so much information compiled and printed next to my workstation and to have the author's knowing voice guide me over the speed bumps. A good investment because of the hours of searching it saved me, though probably doomed to a short shelf life. I only wish the book came with an update feature ...

Comprehensive and High-Level Bird's Eye View
3 Oct 2007
Format:Paperback
Comprehensive and High-Level Bird's Eye View of an impossibly huge collection of:
* Basic, Specialized Searches, and Additional Features,
* Shopping and Product Searches,
* Maps and Directions, Communication Services,
* Multimedia,
* Other Services,
* Google Software Tools,
* Google for Business and Developers,
* Into the future,
This is an impressive work of trying to summarize (even though it took 800 pages) of an impossible huge number Services and Products that are offered by Google. Some of these are totally disjoint, and some really related and extensions of each others.
This is an excellent comprehensive Reference Book to have next to your computer. I was very pleasantly surprised by many things, for example:
* Searching for Financial, University, Technical, and Government information,
* Google alerts and Updates, Making Google Safe for Kids, and other Languages and Translation Capabilities,
* I refined my ability to use to use Maps and Directions,
* I was impressed with Google Answers and Book Search, Tools for desktop, Calendar, and Google Pack,
* Was really happy to find Picasa, which is good image processing Application,
* Found out things about Google Labs, and found the Advanced Search Operators to be extremely helpful for navigation into the book and understanding of it.
Again, as one of the Google Mottos, Michael Miller has made the Impossible, Possible with this book. And not only he has done "No Evil", he has done an excellent job.

Very useful book
28 Aug 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I tip-toed into google via Picassa and shortly realized that there is so much to Google that I had to get a book. Found this at the library and decided to buy it. I probably could have googled all this stuff and found it on the computer, but having a book next to me made me excursions into the huge world of Google much easier.
