Google Search does Magazines!

[Irwin]

Google's blog post on the introduction of their new magazine search starts like this:
The word "magazine" is derived from the Arabic word "makhazin," meaning storehouse. Since Daniel Defoe published the world's first English magazine back in 1704, millions of magazines catering to nearly every imaginable taste have been created and consumed, passed from person to person in cafes, barber shops, libraries, and homes around the world. If you're wondering what cars people drove in the eighties or what was in fashion thirty years ago, there's a good chance that you'll find that answer in a magazine. Yet few magazine archives are currently available online.
We were just talking about this in class yesterday, and lo, and behold, Google reads our mind.

Now go see it for yourself:
