Google Books Stupid Page of the Day

July 17, 2006

I subscribe to an RSS feed from Project Gutenberg, which tells me about titles that have been added to their library. One caught my eye today, Fairies and Folk Tales of Ireland, by William Henry Frost. Check out the Frontispiece art, which is just below the fold when you open the eBook. Now check out the same image on Google Books. Heck of a job, Google!

UPDATE: Goodness. What happened to this page? And this one? Those darned verso pages.

But just think of how good that frontispiece would look on Gutenberg if the book in question had been locked down with time-restricted DRM.
