 * Notes

Internet archive tips:


 * To force an archive of a page, apparently even when it has already been archived, use the following: https://web.archive.org/save/http.... The target url starts with the second http/https

Google Book tips:


 * Only need to include url up to and including the "lpg=" parameter, but you need to make sure that the "id=" (which is the index number to the work) & the "pg=" paremeters are there too (e.g. http://books.google.com/books?id=vppJAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA787&lpg=PA787 )
 * To change the page number on a link, modify both the "lpg=" and "pg=" parameters
 * The page limit restriction is managed both by a cookie, as well as some kind of session ID in the long url (not sure which parameter, possibly "" or ""), so need to make sure that

Google book parameters index
 * a break down of the following example: http://books.google.com/books?id=vppJAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA787&lpg=PA787&dq=but+proceed+at+once+to+reorganize+the+First+Presidency&source=bl&ots=llIeNW5f64&sig=Axg2pzAkOjzWwN-xj-A8s5zfvQo&hl=en&sa=X&ei=5Gk8VOa8Dpe0yASboYGoBA&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=but%20proceed%20at%20once%20to%20reorganize%20the%20First%20Presidency&f=false


 * 1) id=vppJAAAAYAAJ — a unique key or index key (database row id?) for record of a particular work — observation demonstrates this is correct conclusion
 * 2) &pg=PA787 — page number, needs to mach next entry
 * 3) &lpg=PA787 — page number, needs to match the above entry; don't yet know what the diff is; maybe last pg ?
 * 4) &dq=but+proceed+at+once+to+reorganize+the+First+Presidency — database query (?); appears to be the literal word-for word string that a user queried on to either find this work, or to find the page in the work (see "&d=" below)
 * 5) &source=bl — best guess is that is the entry point for the query
 * 6) &ots=llIeNW5f64 — no idea; maybe off the shelf? some kind of session ID or a join to another resource?
 * 7) &sig=Axg2pzAkOjzWwN-xj-A8s5zfvQo — short for signature? if so, what signature? some kind of session ID or a join to another resource?
 * 8) &hl=en — appears to be a language code, but is it lang to display for the desc of the work, or is it the lang of the source work?
 * 9) &sa=X — no idea
 * 10) &ei=5Gk8VOa8Dpe0yASboYGoBA — no idea; some kind of session ID or a join to another resource?
 * 11) &ved=0CCcQ6AEwAQ — no idea; some kind of session ID or a join to another resource?
 * 12) #v=onepage — appears to be the number of pages to display at once; maybe similar to internet archive syntax for other allowed values?
 * 13) &q=but%20proceed%20at%20once%20to%20reorganize%20the%20First%20Presidency — query (?); appears to be the literal word-for word string that a user queried on to either find this work, or to find the page in the work (se "&dq=" above)
 * 14) &f=false — best guess: fail, with false & true as possible values; perhaps this is a parameter that indicates that that the  user has or has not reached a display restriction

parameters from other examples (only listing non dups)
 * from http://books.google.com/books?id=Crzuxp0q6IMC&pg=PA17&dq=psychopannychism+thnetopsychism&as_brr=3&cd=6#v=onepage&q=psychopannychism%20thnetopsychism&f=false

note that this example can be truncated to http://books.google.com/books?id=Crzuxp0q6IMC without any discernable difference
 * 1) &as_brr=3 — no idea
 * 2) &cd=6 — no idea
