Meanwhile, I've extended the google book classes (libx.org/gbs ) to provide more flexibility; it now supports these classes: gbs-thumbnail Include an <img...> embedding the thumbnail image gbs-link-to-preview Wrap span in link to preview at GBS gbs-link-to-info Wrap span in link to info page at GBS gbs-link-to-thumbnail Wrap span in link to thumbnail at GBS gbs-if-noview Keep this span only if GBS reports that book's viewability is 'noview' gbs-if-partial-or-full Keep this span only if GBS reports that book's viewability is at least 'partial' gbs-if-partial Keep this span only if GBS reports that book's viewability is 'partial' gbs-if-full Keep this span only if GBS reports that book's viewability is 'full' gbs-remove-on-failure Remove this span if GBS doesn't return bookInfo for this item - Godmar
