Ebook Search - Pdf Search Engine long-lines.net Wayback Last updated Jan. 27, 2008. The Web changes constantly, and sometimes that page that had just the information you needed yesterday (or last month or two years ago) is not available today. At other times you may want to see how a page's content or design has changed. There are several sources for finding Web pages as they used to exist. While Google's cache is probably the best known, the others are important alternatives that may have pages not available at Google or the Wayback Machine plus they may have an archived page from a different date. Note that none of these include all Web pages. For more details on searching the Wayback Machine, see my article "The Wayback Machine: The Web's Archive."

eBooks Space THOUGHT PATTERNS: Bookstores I used to work in a smallish independent bookstore and it was truly one of the best jobs I ever had. To be surrounded by endless glorious volumes, to enter every morning into this multicolored world of words and pictures was truly a pleasure. I loved rearranging shelves (endlessly), lining up the books this way and that. One of my favorite things, though, was ordering books for the store (it almost completely fulfilled my shopping urges, mind you, I would always overdo it with the order :), and then anticipating eagerly their arrival. Books on photography, design, fashion, art... it would take me hours and hours to find their right spot in the bookstore, to display them properly, to sneak careful peeks through the pages. It was one of life's great pleasures. There are plenty of bookstore gems in the world and I do hope they will persevere (one of them is City Lights, which I am happy to be able to call my neighborhood bookstore), but the most charming one is Shakespeare & Co. xoxoxo
