You can't review twelve of their content pages at random. After the second page of one of those public domain books, you'll be hit with an unskippable signup prompt. (One day free trial with CC.)

That's actually within the letter of the Google guidelines for First Click Free, but you could be forgiven for not enjoying the experience as a searcher.

I assumed the content was the paragraph above the listings for paid ebooks. My mistake.
