Google books and 'Moral Panics'.

This morning I noticed that there's 14 reservations on 1 paper copy of Moral Panics by Krinsky.

If you're 14th on the list (in fact, even if you're further up the list than that) then forget it-you're never going to get it in time to write your assignment.

This book is not available as an e-book but have any of you tried finding it via Google books yet?

Basically, Google has digitised 1000's of mostly out of print books and stuck them on the Web.

In some cases you can access the whole book or sometimes it's just a chapter - often the introductory chapter.

In the case of the Krinsky book you can access the first 63 pages which is pretty much the first 3 chapters. I hope those 3 chapters contain something of relevance.

Click here to get to the basic book search page.

Just remember to correctly reference whatever you use.

If any of you access the book using Google books then I'd really like to know.
