Credible Book Clues: Again I looked at  the year that the book was published.  I was able to examine the table of contents and at the same time was able to read the introduction to the book. I was also able to read the publisher description and some editorial reviews. I was able to find out more information about the author. 

Search Differ: There were several links that allowed the user to open and obtain more information about the author, the publisher description and reviews dealing with the book.   It was interesting to see the other location where you can get the book from and how many there were. I also liked the fact that I could see the cover. Several times I have been influenced by the design of the cover.
