Thanks for the E-mail and my apologies for not replying sooner.  I see
that the Google link is to a search, which, in general, may return
multiple (often, irrelevant) results.  I've typically use a reference
to a specific work within Google, e.g., for Tissot's book

    http://books.google.com/books?id=a5YOAAAAYAAJ

It's also possible to refer to a specific page of a book.  This is
really important when refering to journal articles (for which Google
search will be distinctly iffy), e.g., here's a paper by Chebychev in
a St. Petersburg journal (1856):

I've started assembling a list of articles on map projections.  Here's
what I've got so far:
