Aaron Swartz has announced a demo of the Open Library Project. I really admire this idea and wish him and the team the very best of luck with it. The technology looks really good and the team includes designer Rebecca Malamud who's work I have admired before at MappaMundi.net

Martyn Daniels pointed us towards the Random House promotion of the new Dr Hannibal Lecter novel from Thomas Harris.
Random House have set up a dedicated web site for the book here and after a creeping about in a virtual space you can get a sample of the book. Don’t get too excited though. We don’t think this is as good as it sounds. Here is Martyn Daniels site, where we first observed this topic.

At DailyLit you can subscribe to a book and get episodes sent to you by email. The books are, at the moment the usual collection of public domain material, but this seems like an idea worth reporting. I can see all sorts of problems with ISPs reporting this as spam.

Our holiday in Greece this summer got off to a bad start. We found ourselves at Heathrow at 8am, in the middle of the security alert that was widely reported.
Queuing at the check-in desk we were told to put all hand luggage into the hold, so we had to stuff our suitcases with all the things that we expected to be able to carry-on. Are we OK to take a book each? - I asked. That should be alright, said an airline worker.
This web site is a kind of depository for all the things about getting stuff onto the web.
