Google Books Subject (Category) Search

re: google books subject search ; dateline February 2011

Oddly, when not logged-in, entry at http://books.google.com doesn't provide easy access to categories (anymore?), nor to the 'recommendations' seen in the past...

The biggest annoyance is that trying to use 'Advanced Search' limited to 'Subject' doesn't actually limit the search results to the Subject Category!

To get the list of Categories, you can use this URL or something similar (as of Feb 2011):
http://books.google.com/books?q=travel&btnG=Search+Books

But it seems that many of the options (including Search results in some cases) are ONLY visible after you LOG IN with a Google/gmail account. (This may depend on your Browser type/version...)
 ...

The actual 'HOME' page , with Featured Suggestions organized by 'Subject' (Category) , is at

http://books.google.com/books 

(e.g. http://books.google.com/books?hl=en ) [="Browse subjects "]

Here are the sidebar categories:

Body, Mind & Spirit
Business & Economics
Computers
Cooking
Design
Family & Relationships
Games
Gardening
Health & Fitness
House & Home
Humor
Law
Literary Collections
Literary Criticism
Mathematics
Medical
Performing Arts
Pets
Philosophy
Photography
Poetry
Political Science
Psychology
Religion
Self-Help
Social Science
Technology & Engineering
Transportation
Travel

Here's a sample URL, for the MAGAZINES category :
http://books.google.com/books/magazines/language/en?hl=en&source=gbs_slider_gbs_user_shelves_1004_homepage

 Note that their names for things, such as the 'slider' and 'user_shelves' display method, can be seen in these URLS: "...&source=gbs_slider_gbs_user_shelves_1004_homepage"
 
And the limitation of language=English implies collections in other languages are also available
