I typed "snakes" into my Weird Old Book Finder search engine (https://weird-old-book-finder.glitch.me) and found ...... the 1910 book "The Snakes of Ceylon": https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Snakes_of_Ceylon/X7srAQAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1Love this opening bit

@clive nice work. Curiously it returns information for pangolin, but not penguin or pelican!

@CTD that's so weird!! I just tried it and got results for both pelican and penguin ...Are you by any chance behind a VPN? That apparently can cause problems in the search engine's performance -- google books sometime refuses to respond to requests from behind a VPN (apparently, I think) and returns null results

@clive not behind a VPN but perhaps the results were just very slow to arrive so all I saw was blank page.

@clive weirdly it isnât returning anything now. Perhaps it just doesnât like my iPhone. Tried on cellular and WiFi. Trying iPad now.
