Consider this tool because The short time needed to set up a Google
account and activating it
There are several methods of generating a list of ISBN’s for almost every purpose
LibraryThing, OPAC’s , Etc

Júlio dos Anjos53
Consider this tool because Easy to create “search boxes” for all kinds of purposes
Short bibliographies, Long bibliographies, your Science Fiction collection, your Business Management collection, your Whatever collection …
You can have always a list of books and some passages where the “search terms” occur in the paper resources
Google Book Search box is not easily embeddable
Anyway, books are not available to read through through Google Books, but you bookshelves are.

Proves that one can use Google’s own Results Page
Proves that one can create Results pages and integrate with several Google Book presentation tools
