Google scanning the British Library
This is an awesome project, and it would be nice to see it expanded. Sadly, the scanned archive will end at 1870 due to European copyright law, which apparently is a little more restrictive than US copyright law, if such a thing is possible.
I'm looking forward to cruising this material.
