Modern IDL is now on Google Books:
http://books.google.com/books?id=zAd1Y0-bOrsC&printsec=f rontcover
This should make a fair amount of content of the book available for
reading online. Even better, you can do text searches of the entire
book, which gives snippets and a page number that you can look up in
your hardcopy version.
