I seem to go back to Google too.  But I resent it when people  
suggest that I "google for it" when I need to research a book  
title.  I have fine industry tools for book searches; I don't  
*need* to google it.  But sometimes Google is the one I need to  
use inorder to get closer to the results that people remember  
seeing when they used Google - especially give me the wrong  
title or can't spell the author's name correctly. Google seems  
to do a good job at guessing what that correct spelling might  
be.

Hey.. I like that.  Easier than "Let me dee dee gee that".
