Usage
{{Google books|id|title|page=|keywords=|text=|plainurl=}}
The page, keywords, text, and plainurl parameters are all optional.
The |id= parameter is the string of twelve characters found in the specific Google Books URL after "id=" but before "&".
The |page= parameter may be used to link to a particular page number. |pg= can be used for "special" pages, e.g. |pg=PR1 for the page numbered "i" or |pg=PP2 for an inside cover (check the specific circumstances as appropriate for the latter as they vary from book to book).
The |keywords= parameter may be used to search for particular keywords within the text (corresponding to the q parameter in the Google URL); |text= searches for a quoted phrase (corresponding to the dq parameter in the Google URL).
The |plainurl= parameter tells the template to output a URL (web address) only, rather than a linked book title and page number. Use |plainurl=yes when using this template in a |url= parameter of a citation template. |plain-url= works as an alias.

Doe, John. {{Google books|7ydCAAAAIAAJ|History of the Western Insurrection|page=42}}
