[Web4lib] "hacking" Google Book Search to get whole contents

I just took a browse at google book search for the first time, and was
excited to see that there is a Reviews search available, from the "about
this book" link. However, all the reviews I have looked at so far are random
web-based reviews, from amazon and random personal pages. This seems to me
to be a *perfect* place for integration of Google Scholar into the Google
Books project...does anyone know if google has plans (or has discussed)
broadening that web search to a Schoogle search, and thereby connecting
scholarly reviews to the books?
