GOOGLE BOOKS























This is a link to google books that may be of some interest to you
http://books.google.ie/bkshp?hl=en&tab=wp

Just enter the keyword or phrase you're looking for into the Google Book Search box. For example, when you search for a phrase like "one small step for man," it will find all the books whose contents match your search terms. Click on a book title and you'll see basic info about the book just like you'd see in a card catalog. You might also see a few snippets - sentences of your search term in context. If a publisher or author has given us permission, you'll see a full page and be able to browse within the book to see more pages. If the book is out of copyright, you'll see a full page and you can page forward or back to see the full book. Clicking on "Search within this book," allows you to perform more searches within the book you've selected.
