Philippe Colombet is announcing a partnership (that is actual partnership, not a buy-out) with the National Library of the Netherlands. From the post:
We’ll be scanning more than 160,000 of its public domain books, and making this collection available globally via Google Books. The library will receive copies of the scans so that they can also be viewed via the library’s website.
Would love to see a catalog of all the scanned books and where to view them.
