GoodReads 创始人 Otis Chandler
“Goodreads 拥有超过一百万热爱读书的用户。许多成员抱怨他们实际上花费了太多时间在网站上，而不是阅读。但是现在，借助 Google 图书搜索，我们可以帮助解决他们的问题 - 他们可以直接在网站上浏览图书了！”
他们是谁
GoodReads 是专为图书爱好者打造的免费网站。不妨将它想象成一个大型图书馆，您可以随意浏览和查看每个人的书架、他们的评价和评分。您还可以发布自己的评价，将已经阅读、当前正在阅读以及计划以后阅读的内容编入目录。不仅如此，您还可以加入讨论小组、创立书友会、联系作者，甚至发布自己的作品。
Goodreads 的使命是改进全球的阅读和学习流程。
与 Google 图书搜索集成
通过与出版商的合作和图书馆扫描项目，Google 已经积累了各种各样的图书：Goodreads 希望将其网站上关于图书的故事融入到真正的图书中。
Goodreads 擅长通过朋友或其他具有类似品味的读者的推荐，帮助人们找到想要阅读的图书。不过，与实体书店不同的是，会员无法挑选自己想阅读并翻阅的书籍。使用 Google Book Search API 嵌入图书的预览有助于改变这种局面，使会员可以直接在网站上在线浏览图书。对于想要阅读某本图书并考虑阅读的会员来说，这是一项非常宝贵的服务。
使用 Google 图书搜索嵌入式查看器 API 进行集成非常简单。我们只需添加一些快速的 JavaScript 代码，这是因 Google 提供的优秀示例而变得很快的 - 几个小时后，它就准备就绪了！
而这仅仅是开端：Goodreads 的创始人 Otis Chandler 将继续集成来自 Google 图书搜索 API 的更多功能：“既然图书内容已经可用，我们可以围绕图书内容构建无数有趣的社交功能。”

Many of these members complain that they actually spend too much time on the site instead of reading. But now with Google book search we can help fix their problem - they will be able to browse the books right on the site!\"\n\nWho They Are\n------------\n\n\nGoodReads is a free website for book lovers. Imagine it as a large library that you can wander through and see everyone's bookshelves, their reviews, and their ratings. You can also post your own reviews and catalog what you have read, are currently reading, and plan to read in the future. And it doesn't stop there --- you can join a discussion group, start a book club, contact an author, and even post your own writing.\n\nGoodreads' mission is to improve the process of reading and learning throughout the world.\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nIntegration with Google Book Search\n-----------------------------------\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nThrough its partnerships with publishers and the library scanning project, Google has amassed a collection of all kinds of books: Goodreads wants to bring the conversations happening around the books on its site into the actual book itself.\n\nGoodreads excels at helping people find what books they want to read, through recommendations from friends or other readers with similar tastes. However, unlike in a real bookstore, members can't pick a book up they think they want to read and flip through it. Embedding the preview of a book using the Google Book Search Apis is going to help change that, enabling members to browse through the books online right on the site. This will be a very valuable service to members who are curious about a book and are considering reading it.\n\nIntegration using the Google Book Search embeddable viewer API was very easy. We just had to add some quick javascript - a snap due to great examples from Google - and a few hours later it was ready to roll!\n\nAnd this is only the beginning: Otis Chandler, founder of Goodreads, will continue to integrate more functionality from Google Book Search APIs: \"There are endless numbers of fun social features we can build around the book content now that it is available.\"\n\nWhat They Did\n-------------\n\n[](/static/books/casestudies/images/goodreads_screen_1.jpg)"]]
