On Charles and Andrew's points, Manchester Libraries very kindly allow
anyone in the UK to register with them. See
http://www.manchester.gov.uk/info/200062/libraries/78/join_the_library
. The process is a tad odd - if you are asked if you are accessing via
Cardiff libraries, say yes - I think they handled the national deal with
OUP. That's what I have to do anyway. I don't know if you get the
American biography book in the UK package though.

In case you've missed it, here's your chance to access Oxford University
Press and Royal Society sources. I've found the Oxford Dictionary of
National Biography particularly useful in the past.
