Books Archive:*

* Books Archive: For the past four years, it has been our pleasure to
provide a full-text search of the New York Times Books archive of reviews,
news and author interviews dating back to 1980. 

To comply with a recent United States Supreme Court decision, we are
limiting that search to the period from January 1, 1996 to the present. In
the period prior to 1996, The Times typically did not have written
agreements with freelance book reviewers to permit republishing reviews in
electronic form. 

The court, citing the characteristics and efficiencies of the electronic
media, has now held that The Times's right to publish those reviews does
not extend to online editions or electronic archives. 

We regret that these articles will no longer will be available to our
users.
