The Age of the Page

Google's digital library of books has just gone live. Of course, you can't actually read the books online. But you can search them. And search for them.

For example, I found the play Carbondale Dreams, by playwright Steven Sater. I searched inside the book, but couldn't find any Quatro's references. Nor SIU.

Part of the play takes place in a home "set beside a lake on the outskirts of Carbondale, Illinois." That's ALMOST MY HOUSE!
