How to use book search (back to top)
There are three options:

1. keywords in all 25,000 pages combined.
2. keywords in one particular book
3. keywords in chapter titles: chapter titles are quite often indicative of the topics in that chapter and one can assume you will find a lot more on the topic if the whole chapter deals with it

How to use tags (back to top)
Chapters, books and illustrations are tagged. The tag cloud on the main library page will lead you to a page where all chapters, books, illustrations are listed that have that particular keyword (or keyphrase) as "tag". In other words: you can find a chapter or an illustration dealing with a particular theme by looking for tags.

What are your chapter, book, illustratation recommendations about (back to top)
We wrote our own, proprietary, recommendation algorithms based on relevance and themes of chapters, illustrations and books. On each page you will therefore see some recommendations for other chapters, illustrations and books dealing with the same theme as the chapter you're presently reading.

If you're doing research, you may find the recommendations particularly helpful as they go through all books and articles and immediately help you access those areas of a book that deal with similar themes and topics as the pages you're reading at that moment.

How can I jump 100 pages forward (back to top)
Above each page there's an empty box. Type the page number you want to go to and press return or click on "go".

What are your recommendations at the top of the book pages (back to top)
Above each book page we show some relevant thematic pages: a chapter dealing with emeralds will have links to the main "emerald hub page" but also to other gemstone main pages and relevant themes.

These "main hub pages" combine all information as well as museum exhibits, artist collections, special gem sculptures, objects d'art and gemstones that deal with that theme. So for "emeralds" you'd find "everything about emeralds" on that particular page.
