This is a terrific new feature. I hope they get this going for more books
soon. This option is not available for the 1826 version of Bowditch, for
example. The last time I checked, though, the scan of that book was in bad
shape -- big chunks of pages all given the same number. Some of those
groups of pages were scanned again and again...
It must be a lot of work putting all of these old books online.
I like the Project Guttenburg approach, where anyone can help a little bit.
