Hello all,

I find the services of http://books.google.com to be a fascinating resource. These are out of print rare old books usually sourced from a university library such as Harvard or the University of Michigan. You can save books to a personal library, download PDF scans of books, or search the text. They often include maps, illustrations and photographs. Note that some titles on Google Books are limited view.
