Unhappily, I see no way to view a book at that site, except to download
the entire thing. Even if it's easy to get with a high speed connection,
a complete document may not be what's needed. In order to "quote" a
passage from an old book during an email discussion, it's useful if you
can do something like this:


http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/pageviewer-idx?c=moa;cc=moa;q1=Spherical%20astronomy;rgn=subject;idno=AJN3556.0002.001;didno=AJN3556.0002.001;view=image;seq=00000106

Ideally, a site should let you view single pages, or download the
complete document. Also, it should be possible to generate a link to
each page, or at least each chapter or article. A couple sites that I
use make that impossible, or force you to do some non-obvious URL
editing to make a link that can be sent via email.
