The Open Library aims to have an entry for every edition of every book ever published, and to make many scanned books available to borrow borrow for an hour (or longer) if you make a free account. You can read or borrow a book if the bar underneath the cover says "Borrow" or "Read." 

**If a book says it is "not in library" or "checked out," a copy might still be available!** Click on the book's cover to see if you can borrow one of the other editions.
