Ann,
Here is a post I made several months ago explaining how to use
books.google.com to find the answeres to some of these questions. I hope
this helps you with your garbled text. Please ask any questions you may
have after reading this explanation.
Lori, I'm using a screen reader and am not signed in. This book is
available in snippet view, which means you can't actually look at the
whole page, but a snippet of it is shown in the search result. The
snippet usually shows the text you type, along with some of the
surrounding text. So, here's what I do.
In the search box type the book title in quote followed by the plus
sign, followed by the text right before or right after the word you are
looking for. I do not include the word that is messed up, because that
throws the search off. I try to use several words of the text, so it is
more likely to find the exact spot I'm looking for. Then press enter to
perform the search. When the search results come up, hopefully just one
result, if I've done my search well, I read the snippet that is shown
there in the search result. It shows the text you entered in the search,
along with some of the surrounding text. Do not click on the search
result, because that page will only have images. With books that are in
snippet view, there are certain pages that are restricted. In this case,
the search result will come up and in the place where the text would
normally appear, there will be a notice saying that that page's content
is restricted. If this is the case, you'll need to find another way to
get the information, either through a rescan, or having someone look at
the print copy, because it won't be viewable by anyone, sighted or not.
I hope this made sense and you can find answers without any trouble. Let
me know if it didn't, I'll try to explain more.
Melissa

Hi Ann,
Was it, by any chance, at the beginning of a new section? I don’t know
why, but the starts of new sections, usually a change in scene, had
some spurious characters. I took them out, because with them gone, the
text made much more sense. Like Mayrie said, copy the lines and I’ll
try to help you out.
