Several of the charts and tables that can be found in the Name in History books that Ancestry publishes can be found on Ancestry for free. Even for many surnames that aren't popular enough to have books. (Link to extensive review of the contents of one such book.)
On the main index page of their Learning Center, if you scroll down you will see "Facts About Your Surname", and an input box to enter your surname.
You don't need to have a paid Ancestry account - though if you do, there are links to the databases for the actual records, which of course the books don't have.
