Books Help

We're currently working with many libraries to include their collections in Google Books. You can find a full list of our library partners on the Google Books Library Partner page. For each of the books scanned from these libraries, we show you basic information, like a card catalog. In some cases we'll also show a few snippets — sentences of your search term in context. If a book is determined to be in the public domain, we'll show you the full text of the book — that is, you can page through the book from start to finish.
