| About GooglePrint | Nov 4, 2005 |
Gracias Javier. Here's more about GooglePrint
What is Google Print?
Google's mission is to organize the world's information, but much of that information isn't yet online. Google Print aims to get it there by putting book content where you can find it most easily – right in your Google search results.
How does Google Print work?
Just do a search on the Google Print homepage. When we find a book whose content contains a match for your search terms, we'll link to it in your search results. Click a book title and you'll see the page of the book that has your search terms, along with other information about the book and "Buy this Book" links to online bookstores (you can view the entirety of public domain books or, for books under copyright, just a few pages or in some cases, only the title’s bibliographic data and brief snippets). You can also search for more information within that specific book and find nearby libraries that have it.

If you really wanted to get the book, you could always take a screenshot of each page! Obviously this would take some time, but you could.

You can take a screenshot of the _few_ pages that are available for each book... Unless it's a copyleft book (and I haven't found any on google print), only a few pages are available for online reading (or for screenshots! ).
Ale.

| thanks for this news | Nov 4, 2005 |
For some books, some pages are available only after logging in to a Google Account. And even then, as Caliaa wrote, some pages can be unavailable. Google has noted: "As part of our efforts to protect a book's copyright, a set of pages in every in-copyright book will be unavailable to all users."
Still, this library will be immensely useful.
