Digitize Every Book Ever Published


That's the goal of the Million Book Project. The project is based at Carnegie Mellon University. How far along are they on their quest? They've digitized 1% of all books ever published. That's a lot of books already. 1.5 million books to be exact.

You can read a story about the project here and learn more about the project from their official website. You can, for free, access any book they've digitized.

No word yet on if they've yet scanned that weird Japanese potty training book.
