Google Print is a Beta offering from Google which looks like it is going to be both very ambitious and an amazing service when it really gains momentum! Take a look at what they have to say about this project:

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Since a lot of the world’s information isn’t yet online, we’re helping to get it there. Google Print puts the content of books where you can find it most easily – right in Google search results.

To use Google Print, just do an ordinary Google search. For example, when you search on “Books about Ecuador Trekking” or “Romeo and Juliet,” and we find a book that contains content that matches your search terms, we’ll show links to that book at the top of your search results. Click on the book title and you’ll see the page of the book that contains your search terms, as well as other information about the book. You can also search for other topics within the book. Click “Buy this Book” and you’ll go straight to an online bookstore selling it. If the book was scanned from a library, click the library link to find a local library that has it.
