1. Go to books.google.com, and search for the book you want. You'll probably find a copy as PDF of scanned page images. Save this link; you'll need to come back to it.

2. Download a copy of the book. Start reading it. When you come to an error, if it is obvious then fix it. If you don't know what it should say, then go to step 3.

3. Find a string of words near the error that you beleive to be correct. Go to the link you saved in step 1 and search for that string of words. This will get you close to the error, and you will be able to see what the correct text is.


Then again, some of these books have so many errors that you won't need to search for the correct text. You'll just advance through the book 1 page at a time.
