It's 2,034 reels, more than 29 thousand items covered.
Alternate title: Early English Books 1.

I don't know how much it costs -- I don't think I want to imagine.

Many of the very largest libraries have computer indices to

not available over the web to the public. (yes, I've looked -- if
you find one that's open access, let me know)
