A Note on Google Books…
Google Books is an online database of scanned books that are fully searchable. You can use it, for instance, to look for books on X topic, and the search engine will search the *entire text* of each book to find relevant books for you. In the search results, you are provided with a snippet from each retrieved book showing your search terms in context.
Most books that are retrieved in this way cannot be read cover-to-cover on Google Books; instead, you're only granted access to the relevant snippet and provided with links to places where the book can be bought.
However, there are many older books, no longer protected by copyright, which can be viewed cover-to-cover on Google Books and/or downloaded as a (large) PDF file. Here are a few relevant to Heathenry:
Cleasby and Vigfusson's Icelandic English Dictionary (1874)
Grimm's Teutonic Mythology, volume I (1880)
Grimm's Teutonic Mythology, volume II (1883)
Grimm's Teutonic Mythology, volume III (1883)
Grimm's Teutonic Mythology, volume IV (1888)
