Search Google Books

You can also search millions of books, magazines, and newspapers digitized through the Google Books project.  Levels of access depend on copyright status and publisher permissions--so you may find a citation, snippet, limited view, or full text.  Best used for electronic access to books in the public domain (i.e., works published before 1924).
