Limitations of publishers' websites

What are the key limitations of using publishers' websites?

The main limitations are:

1. Publishers are trying to sell you or your client books. Thus you will not find independent opinions on these sites.

2. Publishers' sites will only feature their own publications. Other, more appropriate, materials may be available elsewhere.

3. The websites will not link back to library catalogues.

4. Some of the information may be pre-publication.
