When you find a book that is under copyrights, you typically see only a small portion of book at a time…either the Snippet View of the Sample Pages view plus links to places where you can buy or borrow the book. If the book is available on Google Books, you can click and read free. To purchase a book you will need to have a Google account. There will be books you can download for free.
