Google is digitizing millions of books from 37 libraries -- all of Stanford, all of Harvard, all of University of California, all of Oxford University in England and 23 other large, beautiful libraries. Description and timeline of the Google Book Project. Robot digitizer used by Stanford. Every single page in every book is being digitized, but not every page of every book is available -- yet. There's a publishers' lawsuit that restricts access to recently published titles. But information wants to be free, I think, and it will eventually work out. Even at this stage, there are vast amounts of full text available that it is useful to explore.
