I live in Vancouver, Canada, and using my library card I have free access to the Books24×7 system. This system grants you access to view the full text of books online that are housed by the folks at www.Books24×7.com. If you live in a large metropolitan area, it is very likely that you already have access to Books24×7 through your local library system. If that is the case, then go to your library system Website and find the link to the Books24×7 Website (you will need to log into your library system first before trying to access anything on Books24×7). For anyone living near me (which includes Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey), you will need to log into the following Website with your library card and last 4 digits of your phone number:

Once you are logged in, take a look at the following books on SEO and Web Metrics. Why buy a book when you can read it online for free at home using your library card?
