Great Google Books
Google Books is a great new growing resource that really has to be commended especially for those older or rare books that are not readily available otherwise. And its free book range is increasing each week.
To search them yourself go to Google, More, Books and then to Advanced Search and click FullView with an author or book name. You can then read books and often download a copy of them in PDF format. (if you need one, a good FREE PDF reader is available from adobe.com)
I came across this on http://www.new-science-theory.com who make some good use of Google Books.
Digiwizz,

Re: Great Google Books
Hello Friend,
It is a service from Google that searches the full text of books that Google scans,converts to text using optical character recognition and stores in its digital database itself and if we are talking about the benefits for authors or the publisher,out of print books need no longer be relegated to the used book market.
