I’ve always thought of using Google Books as a way of passing time. Reading fictional tales of knights and sorcerers in a far off land. Never once had it crossed my mind that you could use Google Books as a reference for say, building something. Even then, I would only imagine them providing handy information like replacing a leaky faucet or applying drywall.
Well, leave it to Bob Ferry of Louisville, Kentucky to make your hobby look like Popsicle stick crafts. Using nothing but Google Books to provide him with over 10o back issues of Popular Mechanics and Popular Science, Bob managed to construct a fully functional 1906 Oldsmobile Model B Runabout from scratch. Holy cow. So what did you do today?
