Google Print and G.K. Chesterton

Filed under: general — bdparker @ 4:51 pm

Google is taking over the world. I want a pocket Google so I can know everything, all the time. The newest Google feature is Google Print, an archive of books scanned from libraries and publishers. There’s already a large collection and more books will be added. Any book in the archive is searchable, and for those that have entered public domain (essentially anything written over 70 years ago) you may read the entire text! (That’s what I heard, anyway. It doesn’t seem to be very true. You can actually read entire books from Project Gutenberg)
One thing you can find at Google Print, however, is excerpts from a number of books by G.K. Chesterton. I’ve quoted part of this on this domain previously, but I know you guys don’t do research, so I wanted to give you this link to one of my favorite Chesterton essays. Enjoy.
If you’re interested in more, the entire text is available from Project Gutenberg.
