The Art of Google Books

The concept of the Art of Google books was extremely interesting to discover, as I had no idea that so many human mistakes were made while scanning.  I appreciate the human qualities that occur in such a digital age.  This just comes to show that not EVERYTHING can be done digitally.  Some human processes need to happen in order for the digital world to be successful.  I found the random hands found while scanning as well as the stains and other human accidents just as interesting because it shows the journey that publishing has made over the years and that someone once owned the book and spilled coffee or whatever they were drinking while enjoying the experience of reading a hard copy book.
