    3. This is addressed especially to any of you who have mastered the search at Google Books. Among the many treasures now online through this Google service (including such things as the tans series MA VR and many local histories available as free PDF downloads, peeks into MD and lots more) there is AT LEAST volume one of Nathaniel Bradstreet Shurtleff, David Pulsifer_Records of the Colony of New Plymouth, in New England_(Press of W. White, 1855) This is the deeds book, so it's a good one to have (this one is not in PDF for download, but you can read it online). But, what about the other 11 volumes? Are they also available here? I have not been able to find them, but I have not put a lot of effort into it yet, partly because I have tried this with the Essex Antiquarian. For anyone interested, the Essex Antiquarian is also available, but this time as a PDF download too, through Google Books. I tried to find every volume, but I have been able only to find about half of them, and even when I search by publishing year I get frustrating results. But there are other avenues for that particular work--it's PCR that I'm lusting after at the moment. I won't describe my problems with the search at Google Books, but if someone knows how to find the other 11 volumes of PCR, assuming that they are there, it would be an immense service to the list if an explanation were posted here. Would you like to have free online access to PCR from home any time? I thought so. If someone knows or can find out if Google Books really has that, please let us all know.
