I played around with the Beta of print.google.com and took some legendary classics I have sitting on the shelf here and did a search with a complete sentence from one of them. I was pleasantly surprised to find this classic indexed at Google. It is a story I loved as a child and as my kids reach the age were they can comprehend the story-line I will give them each a shot at it.
What is sad is this particular book can now only be found via used book stored and thru Amazon. I think it is great that Google is digitally storing all of this information..
Some have and are crying foul but I am a firm believer everything is done for a reason and if their is anyway that we can expand the digital information that is stored this will give the world the ability to reach out and touch information that would otherwise be locked away. If handled properly the data could also preserve information about mankind if something terrible were to happen. [print.google.com]
