Does anyone know where, on the internet, I can find a bunch of the diagrams from the book? Google images didn't really have any decent sized ones.

here http://www.bartleby.com/107/ you'll find the whole book :) just keep scanning for the diagrams,they all can be expanded :)

Note that the copy of Gray's Anatomy that Bartleby.com has posted is the 1918 edition, which no longer qualifies for copyright protection. Copyrights do expire after a period of time, so that soft copy of the book can be downloaded.

See this table for more in formation on when copyrights expire:

You have to admit, those drawings are amazing. I still read Gray's Anatomy ever few years for fun. It's an amazing work, and worth the purchase on paper in my view.
 
wikipedia uses gray's anatomy drawings for many of its anatomy images. just search the structure you want there.
