BookPage Online

I'm probably a bit behind the times, but it looks as though part of the new Web Services Upgrade at the Nashville Public Library was to give online access to BookPage. I've been a BookPage junkie for years.

This new online version is the equivalent of going from smoking pot to mainlining heroin. EVERY BOOK MENTIONED in the reviews, best-seller lists and awards coverage has a direct link to the library's catalog page. You can read the review and request the book. All in one place.

Like Amazon, but for free.

Update:

Buzz Girl is the New York-based correspondant for Book Page. Her blog chats up "future best-sellers." I'm officially cheating and adding her to the local blogroll for my site. I know she isn't local, but since BookPage is, I'm staking a claim.
