As you like it - Shakespeare on demand
Google's Book Search now includes Shakespeare's full repertoire. Google invites users to "Search within Hamlet for "to be or not to be" to read the rest of his famous soliloquy. Find out who called the world his "oyster" and why. Browse through a familiar play – or follow your curiosity to discover a new one."
Full access to the plays is available ... but only for some. Copyright restrictions mean in some countries readers can search a text, but not read the entire work since print versions of Shakespeare's plays are not in the public domain everywhere in the world.
Perhaps the biggest attraction is the integrated links to Shakespeare-related media - literary research, Internet groups, and videos of theater performances of Shakespeare plays, even "a literary field trip" to London's Shakespeare's Globe Theater on Google Earth (Google Earth combines satellite imagery of the world, maps and a search engine)
