**Several publishers make multiple editions of their books available through Google Books. Sometimes, Google initially returns a link only to the e-book edition, but that edition may include links to alternate hardcover or softcover editions which do have original pagination. Google Books limits previews of copyrighted books to a certain number of pages. It is possible to jump ahead to exhaust that number from a later starting page by editing the browser URL. For example, adding "&pg=PA100" will usually jump to page 100. [[WP:GBOOKS]] explains how to cite sources found through Google Books.
**Installing the [[Unpaywall]] extension on your browser helps you find the full text of the articles wherever you found them.
