"Readers around the world will soon have online access to thousands of
rare books in Yale's Library thanks to an agreement between the
University and Microsoft Corp to digitize many volumes found only in
the Yale collections.

The Microsoft-Yale project will initially focus on the digitization of
100,000 out-of-copyright English-language books, which will then
become available readers through Microsoft's Live Search interface
(http://books.live.com)."

Please note: English books only!

Unfortunately I was unable in the last months to see a single MSN book
with all browsers I have used (on my PCs, I-Cafes etc.). The book
search doesn't work (same result with US proxy).
