The online version of the World Atlas of Language Structures now
includes a new features, allowing direct links from references to book
pages. Currently this makes use of the Google book preview service.
About 10% of WALS references are available in this way.
For example, to look at some of the pages that the WALS authors used for
the information on Basque, go to
http://wals.info/languoid/lect/wals_code_bsq and click on the "Google
preview" button.
Some explanation is given here: http://blog.wals.info/links-to-google-books/
Thanks to Robert Forkel, Michael Cysouw and Hans-Jörg Bibiko for coming
up with this very nice feature!
