Sometimes you've got to weigh history in the balance. Revisionism not. The perception of overall value changes. Though some may have suffered...and questions still exist

Interesting when reading older non-fiction books. Their references for resources, that are usually in an Appendix, lists books, publications, magazine and newspaper articles, blog posts, etc have URLs that can take you to those resources.

If there are a lot of them and they are extensive and complicated URLs, then buy the digital version of the book. Saves a lot of ‘Can’t Find the Server’ responses if you manually type them in.

At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book.

We never destroy a book by cutting off its binding.
Instead, we digitize it the hard way--one page at a time.
