I’m excited to announce that starting today, visitors to Google Books will be able to search and browse even more magazines on Google Books. We’ve partnered with Life Inc. to digitize LIFE Magazine’s entire run as a weekly: over 1,860 issues, covering the years from 1936 to 1972.
Browse LIFE Magazine Archive (via Google Books)
You can also “search inside” a specific issue (look for the search box in the left-hand column)
To see all the entire issue on a single page, select the issue you’re interested in, click the “read this magazine” link, and look for the magnifying glasses near the top of the page. Here you can:
+ decrease/increase the size of a page
+ view one page at a time
+ view facing pages
+ view the entire issue (look for the 4 box icon)
+ increase the size of the “all page” view
The blog post also contains other methods to access magazines via Google Books

This collection went live at the end of March, 2009
