Do you find yourself in need of some assistance when it comes to finding another book to read? Or do you find you need some additional help in assisting your patrons with finding books they will enjoy. Although there are many sites which offer book reviews and other similar information, Book Seer is a site which is somewhat different but at the same time quite useful. It is really simple which is a good thing although because of this is does not offer all the bells and whistles you may find with some other more complex sites.

The one main problem with this site is that if you misspell a title or enter in a book that the page does not recognize, particularly new titles, then it will say oops nothing found. However, once you do enter in a title of a book that the site recognizes, it pulls recommended titles from Amazon, Book Army, and Library Thing and the choices it lists are really quite relevant and interesting.
