Archive.org

Archive.org is a great site. I use it mainly to find videos, but it also has a great collection of digitized books, some of them unavailable from Google Books and Project Gutenberg.

A particularly interesting find is Yitzhak Baer's A History Of The Jews In Christian Spain Volume II - From The Fourteenth Century To The Expulsion. But the book was published in 1961. Has the copyright really expired?

I also downloaded George Borrow's The Bible in Spain. It promises to be a very interesting travelogue. The version from Archive.org is much more legible than the one available from Google Books.
