Google曾提出要把图书全文电子化，而它现在已经开始做了，这就是http://print.google.com。该网站提供了大量西文电子图书的全文检索。虽然现在无法看到全文，时有加密页，但对于不易找到外文图书的我们来说，仍然有很大价值。与http://scholar.google.com相结合，我们就可以“Stand on the shoulders of giants”。

    有人提供了google看整本书的方法（http://emuch.net/bbs）

Browse the book: If the publication is in the public domain, you can page through the entire thing. If under copyright and submitted by the publisher, you may only be able to browse a few pages at a time. However, you can search for a word that exists beyond those pages, bring up that page and then browse a few other pages near that page. If under copyright and submitted from a library, you will only be able to view the bibliographic information and a few short sentences of text around your search term.

翻译后就是：算法如下：

1） 翻至本次可以看到的最后一页P；

2）从页P中找到一个词（最好要生僻，最好是短语）；

3）把这个词（或短语）填入Search within the book的文本框内，然后点击Go；

4）在右边会显示出搜索结果，从中找到当前页P，然后点击之；

5）这样在当前页P的后面就又可以多看两页了；

6）重复上述步骤，直至看完全书；

或者在第三步时直接打页码也行
