'''Google Books''' is a Google service providing access to books. Books may be from its modern Google Play book marketplace; or scanned and OCR'd by Google and available because it is in the public domain; or scanned and OCR'd but withheld from public viewing because it is either still in copyright ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Books#Legal_issues]) or was evaluated incorrectly. | |||
Scanned books are shared with [[HathiTrust]]. ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HathiTrust]) Books that are incorrectly withheld can be released if disputed. ([https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/43729?hl=en]) Bad scans can be reported (for example, if the straightening algorithm produced a wobbly disaster), and they will be fixed if possible (meaning that Google has master scans that are not public).

Google Books will challenge you with a classic Captcha if you click on more than one download PDF or EPUB link within a short time frame. | |||
The legacy Google Books viewer (sporadically replaced since 2021 with an inferior "modernized" viewer) has a dropdown menu in the top left and top right for OCR EPUB download ([https://books.google.com/books/download/Chinese_and_English_Cook_Book.epub?id=dhUEAAAAYAAJ&hl=ja&output=epub]), PDF download, and OCR text view ([https://books.google.com/books?pg=PT57&id=dhUEAAAAYAAJ&hl=ja&output=text], top right only). | |||
