Oo la la! I adore the beta Lookybook site! The site offers all sorts of children’s books that you can page through online! And these are not books you have never heard of, they are top-of-the-line and recent children’s books. The paging works seamlessly and smoothly with an intuitive interface, plus you can embed the Lookybooks onto your blog or website, even without registering for the site.
Registration gets you your own bookshelf, the ability to comment on books, and other bells and whistles.
You can browse the books by highest rated and most looked at. Here is an embedded book so you can see how it works:

That IS pretty amazing! Sure beats those other ‘browse inside” functions that I’ve seen that pretty much just show you the title page, first page of text, and publication info.

The “pre-view” of the book is really nice, thanks for the tip.

What a great site! I have a feeling I’m going to be spending a lot of time in here.
I am curious what’s in it for the publishers to have their full books in there.

Thanks for that head up! I put it on my son’s blog and credited you for telling me.
