Make quote art with book pages

I was reading Austin Kleon’s book Show your work when I came across a page that seemed to feature pages from a book that were heavily redacted. The left over areas were seemingly put that way to form a quote.I have no idea if this quote was a famous one. Or if this was done with real book or books. However I want to run with that idea and create a program using my new favorite language to search books for quotes. My first API to try is the google books API and find books that contain a given quote . The pages do not need to be in order. I would like the results to come from the same book. Maybe falling back to searching multiple books if needed. I should perhaps start with a list of quotes and bounce that off of googles book API. I wonder how much searching it allows . Is full text really full text? Lets find out.
