This makes sense. 

Also, I think part of my problem was the search term I used. "Dressage" 
usually works well for testing web search engines, but I wouldn't 
expect large academic or urban public libraries to have many books on 
it. Perhaps GooglePrint's scanned books just didn't include any 
dressage manuals, and that was why none came up. 

Since posting my earlier comments, I've tried more academic searches 
such as "Kenya Aids" and gotten better results. However, there still 
seems to be no rhyme or reason as to the usefulness of each book.
