# 29 says Google plans to make the texts searchable and only allow excerpts
to be viewed. This should be legal under
Fair Use doctrine. Some seem to assume the full text will be available, that
seems not the case:

"Let's be clear: Google doesn't show even a single page to users who find
copyrighted books through this program (unless the copyright holder gives us
permission to show more). At most we show only a brief snippet of text where
their search term appears, along with basic bibliographic information and
several links to online booksellers and libraries. Here's what an
in-copyright book scanned from a library looks like on Google Print"
