I feel totally cheated by this ebook! About 95% of the information in this tiny 13 page publication can be easily found online right on Google's website. Just go to http://www.google.com/options/ where you can read all about the Google Tools mentioned in this ebook and then go to http://www.google.com/help/features.html where you can learn how to use all of the features listed in the book. I did not see one bit of information that I would consider to be either a "hack" or a "trick". If you just want to give away the $1.99, send it to your favorite charity.

I agree with Saltz, Don't Waste Your Money!. I usually read these reviews before buying. This time I didn't and boy do I wish I had. This "book" is out dated and probably never did have any useful information that is not available of the Google site. And guess what the arrow on the cover is covering up? The list price is $1.99. When did Amazon start charging MORE than the cover price?

I experimented with purchasing electronic books with this one. I must say that a search of the net provided far better advanced google search tips than this book. It was not worth the two bucks, period. This author could have done better by doing a google search on google tips and tricks. I do not recommend this book. Search for "How to really use google" by andrew wroblewski and steve robichaud on the internet...much better and FREE...

What is this? Of the information in this LITTLE publication MOST OF IT can be easily found online unless you are a beginner,most of the information presented in this publication is pretty basic and is sold as...well you may try. Will the author try Yahoo or MSN too? Not a bad idea
Well dont be so hard try the "Stupid Google Tricks" you are only giving away $2.00 dollars it may worth the expense

I never knew my daily searches on Google could get so much better! In a book that truly matches my ADD (attn. deficit dis.) styles... this book is an easy read that has become a regular reference tool. Focused, Clear and USEFUL, this document has made me much more powerful and efficient on the WEB.
- Don't waste your time on other guides.

Even for an avid Google user like me, Sacerdoti's book reveals some really interesting tidbits on how to get the most productivity out of one's searches. This book is already making me more efficient and yielding stronger results.

Also -- Sacerdoti clues us into some hidden features that I never knew about like easily accessible maps and phone numbers, product information, and access to offline catalogs.

For the price and the time, this might be the most useful book you'll read this year.

I've had to use Google up to 20 times a day doing research for my summer job and I never knew how powerful it could be. "How to Use Google" helped me conduct much more effective, targeted, in-depth searches and has allowed me to find information that I had previously overlooked. The book is just the right length and provides advanced enough information to take you to the next level without being overwhelming. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has ever or will ever Google.

I learned a few new things from this little guide, but nothing terribly new or more powerful or anything (that I couldn't find elsewhere online, for free). Five bucks is too steep for a twelve-page .pdf that's several years old now (when it was two bucks).

This is a great, inexpensive, and easy to understand Google summary. It covers not only the basics of good search practices (useful for any search engine), but also the additional categories that make Google such a powerful resource. Well worth the investment!

I thought the Document would give a much better in depth look at how Google works. It didn't, I only found a couple of points that I considered valuable. If you have never used any search engine in your life, you will find it of great value, otherwise keep looking. If you are using a firewall expect problems getting the doc.
