A Google Book Search user is upset that Google has dropped the search within your Google Book Search library feature. He expressed his complaints in a WebmasterWorld thread. He said:
Then a couple of weeks ago, I logged in and I can no longer restrict my search results to items in My Library.For me, this is the primary way I use Google Books. First search my library. If I don't find it, search more broadly. If I find something good in general search, add that book to my library. If you will, it's like manually controlled personalized search.
It's true, I do not see a way to search only my library, even within the advanced search feature.
This must have changed when Google updated the My Library feature in late January.

That's easy. Just visit the bookshelf you are interested in (or visit My Library if you're interested in your whole library)... then add &q=thequery to the end of the query string, where "thequery" is your search term. The search results will be limited to only that bookshelf or your library.
