Marie Lebert’s Project Gutenberg (1971–2008) traces the history of the pioneering free e-book library founded by Michael Hart. It recounts how the project grew from a single typed document into a vast collection of public-domain books.
The book documents the people, milestones, and ideals behind the digitization of literature and the open-access movement. It is a valuable record of a landmark in the history of the printed and digital word. This edition is a clean, public-domain text prepared for comfortable reading. The EPUB has been carefully formatted for modern e-readers and tablets. Download the free EPUB of this history of Project Gutenberg.
