      I've noticed a change in the search results lately. As I search around I notice a lot of results from books.google.com

      Seems a little (ok a lot) self serving... JMHO

        This could also be due to intent based on what you're searches were; however, Google has given Google properties preferential treatment in the past as well. See: http://moz.com/google-algorithm-change "Dewey — April 2008 A large-scale shuffle seemed to occur at the end of March and into early April, but the specifics were unclear. Some suspected Google was pushing its own internal properties, including Google Books, but the evidence of that was limited."  Cheers!
