Amateur Hour at Google

July 7, 2006

The more I look at Google Books, the more dismayed I am. Check out the following book about Nathaniel Hawthorne, An Analytical Index to the Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne: With a Sketch of His Life. Start here, and then scroll back a page. Why don’t they just throw up on the scanner and reproduce that instead?

And what to say about this page? And this one? Do the people at Harvard know their books are being manhandled like this?
