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.
