Caledon Library

I was exploring just now in Second Life and came across the Duchy of Primverness and Lovelac which is in Caledon Primverness.

What I found really interesting was the Caledon Library up there:

You can select an author and then a book, and a link will take you to a facsimile of that book at Open Library. I'm impressed, though I'm not sure I'd want to read a whole book there. At least Project Gutenberg has the text in plain text format (so you can download and read it in whatever format you like).

Still, I have to admire the virtual nature of this. Check out the title page of volume three of The Works of Edgar Allen Poe. Yes, there's a tissue separator between the plate and the title, and you can even turn it!

I used to be on SL a lot lot more than I am now as Elsie Broek. My comic at http://lauraseabrook.comicgenesis.com/d/20080418.html explains why.
