Hello Fred.
Thank you very much for your very accurate answer.
It is a shame that the guys from Google Books doesn't know how to digitize
books.
They mutilate allways the most important pages for a gnomonist, the images.
It only cost a little bit more of time to digitize also the prints!.
At least the books digitized by Microsoft have text and also the prints.
The guys from Google didn't realized that a book digitized in the way they do
is worth almost for nothing?
May be somebody can tell them to do a well done digitized copy?
