It would hold many things you couldnt find in a encyclopedia. It would hold diagrams, blueprints, schematics, how to's, how things work, locations, laws, why things are here, etc.

Re: Internet Information Project

The google book project isnt exactly that great. appearently you have to pay for books that are still in print or something like that. They mostly have older books more of one book I was reading had upside down chapters. :-( it did have "flag this page as undreadable" but not a whole book or anything like that.
They even have books like "invitation to the game" which as I remember reading was an old beat up copy someone had given me when I was 8 or 9. And "heir Apparent". They do have some of the classics like asimov's The Foundation Series.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
