From The American City
Google Books is blowing my mind. So many texts we might not otherwise get our hands on are available for full PDF download. At first, I thought it meant I wouldn’t go to the library so much. Now I realize I can go to the library in a more focused way. I have a framework for understanding some of the things I will find there, and I can start using the visuals from old books immediately. Which means I’m more likely to read, process, and use knowledge from the copyright-expired part of publishing history. And that is thrilling.
