Google Books
Online book repository
Google Books is a digital library service that scans and indexes books, making their text searchable online.
Full texts of public domain works are freely available, while copyrighted books show limited previews or snippets.
The project has digitized millions of volumes, making it a powerful research tool: I found the original source through Google Books.
