Does this agreement affect how users access public domain books through Google Book Search?
This agreement does not affect books that are in the public domain in the United States and are searchable through Google Book Search. For books that are in the public domain, Google will continue to provide access to the entire book online for free and allow the user to download a PDF copy of the book for free, as it always has. For all books in Google Book Search, where the information is available, there is a link to places where users can buy the book in hard copy directly from the publisher or other booksellers, and where users can find the book in a library near them.
