Google Book Search APIs (Labs)

Who's using it: Livraria Cultura





Who They Are

Livraria Cultura is the largest bookseller in Brazil. Its mission is to make available the most complete collection of books, CDs and DVDs in the market with a knowledgeable and helpful team of employees committed to make the purchase act a unique and pleasurable experience.

Integration with Google Book Search

Livraria Cultura was looking for a way to extend their brick and mortar in-store experience to their online retail site. The decision to use the Google Book Search embeddable viewer API to bring browsing online was in line with Libraria Cultura's strategy to enhance their customers web experience.

What They Did





Using the Embedded Viewer API, Livraria Cultura is able to show a "Google Preview" tab on any book available to their users. This preview allows potential buyers to navigate the contents, search for key terms, and get a taste of the content.





Livraria Cultura used the Dynamic Links feature to indicate, in the search results, which books have the Google Preview feature available.
