Post a search on social networks, such as Twitter or Facebook, and ask other people who might have read the same book. You can also contact old school teachers or the local library to see if anyone knows what book you&#8217;re looking for. Online communities are often filled with similar interests, so it&#8217;s a good idea to post a question on these networks.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Library_of_Congress\"><\/span>Library of Congress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to find a book when you don&#8217;t know the title or author? First of all, the library can be an excellent resource. Ask librarians. These professionals have extensive knowledge of books and can guide you to the best book to suit your needs. They will be able to determine if the book you are looking for is on their shelves and whether you can find it using that information.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amazon\"><\/span>Amazon<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can search for a book on Amazon if you know the author or title, but how do you find a specific book? There are a few options to narrow your search. If you don&#8217;t have a title or author, you can use the Library of Congress&#8217; catalog. It contains 167 million items, including books, audiobooks, maps, images, and other types of information. You can also try using the Ask A Librarian form. The Library of Congress is one of the largest libraries in the world, and you can use it to search for a specific book.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_book_databases\"><\/span>Other book databases<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several other book databases, aside from the major search engines, where you can find a book even if you don&#8217;t know its title or author. BookFinder is one of these, as it offers the best price on the book and taps into the inventories of over a hundred thousand booksellers worldwide. WorldCat, a database of library content, is another option. Worldcat&#8217;s search feature allows you to find a book by character, genre, or place.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Character_names\"><\/span>Character names<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not sure what book you want, you can use social networks to hunt for it. Many people enjoy joining Facebook and Twitter groups and asking questions of fellow readers. You can also join communities of indie writers or avid readers. Depending on where you&#8217;re located, you can also search for a book title in an online community like Goodreads. Try searching for the book title using hashtags, and you&#8217;ll probably get better results.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quotes_from_a_book\"><\/span>Quotes from a book<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>How to cite a book quote in a paper? First, you should know the rules of formatting a quotation. There are several rules, including the inside\/outside rule. When writing a quote, make sure to follow the same formatting rules as you do for the rest of your text. For example, a single quotation is indented half an inch from the rest of the text. The last line of the quotation contains a period, and a capital letter follows the colon. Similarly, when paraphrasing information, a period should follow the same formatting rules as for the rest of the text.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Searching_on_Reddit\"><\/span>Searching on Reddit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes you may want to read a book, but you&#8217;re not sure about the author or title. In these situations, how do you find a book when you have no idea who wrote it? Google&#8217;s search engine isn&#8217;t always the best option, and it can often produce poor results. If you don&#8217;t know the author or title, you can try searching within Google Books, which allows you to type in the search terms and have it scan every page of the book in their database. Alternatively, you can try posting a question on Reddit, which is a simple and effective search engine that can often provide you with great results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have lost a book and don&#8217;t know the title or author, there are ways to find it.
