Cindy and other sighted volunteers, I just went to my address bar and typed in:
books.google.com and then in the search box typed in the name of the book,
selected the book, then I pasted in the text that Lisa gave me inside quotation
marks and the whole page happened to come up. I have to say that is the first
time that is ever happened in my using Google books.
Hope this helps!
Valerie
