There is no doubt that the Open Book Project of Brewster Kahle has the most accurate books online. However they have only 1000 books. The million books project I would rate just barely above google books in quality and completeness. It also helps if the page is not turned before the scan is complete. The US is doing very well in providing a large number of useless images online.
Does anyone know how to get a book into Open Book Project? do you have to be a library?
I wish I knew. I've scanned almost a thousand books for Distributed Proofreaders, and the Internet Archive would be a great place to permanently store the images. Every time I've asked them on their website, however, they either haven't replied, or have said that letting outside people contribute material is something that they're planning on setting up, but with no firm date. -- Jon Ingram
