No - all I and most of the planet need is for Google Books to have the sense
to make all full-view books available to us, instead of releasing them only
for readers in the USA or fiddling through a proxy, as if copyright law is
some sort of incomprehensible monster beyond your insular shores. But we are
not holding our collective breath.

This simpler URL does work, but I couldn't have copied it to SGM because it
is not shown by the proxy service I use. The efficient sharing of knowledge
is NOT the first (or any) priority of Google Books.
