Microsoft's book search

Microsoft has finally followed in the footsteps of Google Book Search and launched its own book search. It seems that Microsoft's previously introduced 3D map search was a bit more successful; book search is clearly not Microsoft's forte. By randomly picking a book (mentioning books always makes me think of *The Plum in the Golden Vase*—what does that say about human nature?), it's easy to see the difference between amateur (see the image above) and professional (see the image below).
