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.
