Google Book Search

http://books.google.com

Would you believe it, last semester I found the full-text of a book written by an obscure German writer in Google Book Search? The student I was helping only needed some biographical information, but we got that and the whole book with a picture from the book cover. What a surprise. Try it for yourself.
