Tue Feb 02 2021 at 6:47:07 If you enjoy poking around used bookstores searching for antiquated tomes on obscure subjects just for fun, or if you're seeking a specific title of some long out of print book such as "The reliques of Father Prout, late P. P. of Watergrasshill, in the county of Cork, Ireland," or if, like me, you enjoy pursuing genealogical research, you might — nay, you will — be interested in the Hathi Trust Digital Library. You may miss the sneeze-inducing smell of musty old books and the feel of crumbling leather bindings, but the scanned copies of original pages can provide a virtual "Ye Olde Bookstore" experience. And best of all--unlike the virtual experience provided by online games — it's free! Indeed, even though there is a LOGIN button, you really don't have to become a member or log in to utilize the site.
