Thought I'd pass on a tip I found on http://www.medievalgenealogy.org.uk/google.shtml#outsideusa - refer to latter if you want more background detail.
We in the UK are more restricted than those in the USA when it comes to what we can see in the way of whole books - copyright dates and so on.
Using an anonymous proxy server (example below uses www.proxify.us) is one practical way around this. You can do a Google Book search and may well find that you are able to see far more of a book than if you had searched from the Google UK site.
Go to www.proxify.us.
Enter Google.us.
Scroll to Books and search as normal.
I've had a lot of success reading things that were only available as one or two lines previously. Hoorah!
