Found a fantastic E-book search web site.

The catch is, it has all sorts of books, and lots of them are very very old.

Like this one:
The Rail-Road Forger and the Detectives (New York: G. W. Carleton and Co., 1881), by Allan Pinkerton

No?

ok, maybe this:
The Crystal Button: or, Adventures of Paul Prognosis in the Forty-Ninth Century (Boston and New York: Houghton, Mifflin and Co., 1891),

or..
Domestic or Fancy Cats: A Practical Treatise on Their Antiquity, Domestication, Varieties, Breeding, Management, Diseases, Exhibition and Judging (London: L.U. Gill, ca. 1893), by John Jennings

Now, if you are still reading this, you might possibly be like me, someone who loves esoteric knowledge and
"I'll be dammned, listen to this" moments.
Well, this site is chockful of them, looks like.
