Google Book Search

Search the full text of books online. If a book is still under copyright, Google will display information about it, and often a few sample pages. If it is out of copyright, you will be able to page through the entire book. Check 'full view books' to limit to books available in full text. Use the "Find this book in a library" link on the book's display to check the book's availability at UGA.
