I’ve read several books from Gutenberg over the years, a very good project.
However, I’m surprised that it’s only 60K titles. The Google digitization project had over 1 million public domain titles as of 2008[1].

- ZeroGravitas 4y agoTheres a lot of weird old stuff floating around, which might not be what you think of when you think "book" but were actually published as books. For example, governments often publish tranacripts of votes. It's great that these exist, and are being digitised for scholars and historians, but its not what you'd go to your local library for. https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL258109A/United_States._Army https://openlibrary.org/authors/OL258109A/United_States._Arm....
