New Module: Google Books
The Google Books module http://drupal.org/project/google_books is a filter module and an API for the Google Books service, that permits a user to insert rich Google book data, cover images, and inline book readers into nodes via filters with data retrieved from the http://books.google.com domain.

I've been rambling / showing off aspects of these two modules for almost 1 and a 1/2 years now and FINALLY they have been completely rewritten in an open way. They are two separate modules though I'd recommend using them together as that's how they've been tested fully.

I've been working on a port of the Outline Designer module to Drupal 6 and it's almost ready for release.

Feedback is muuuuuch appriciated as this module is still geared towards making Drupal more usable for the education crowd.
