An overview of the Google book-scanning fiasco

An interesting (if not entirely agreeable) overview at the Atlantic:

About this blog

Douglas A. Anderson is the author of The Annotated Hobbit (1988; revised and expanded edition 2002). He is currently Book Reviews Editor of the peer-reviewed online Journal of Tolkien Research (founded 2014). His anthologies of fantasy literature include Tales Before Tolkien (2003) and Tales Before Narnia (2008). More Tales Before Tolkien is due out in 2025. He is also managing director of the small publishing firm Nodens Books.

Besides his blogs on Tolkien and Fantasy (mostly Tolkien-related) and A Shiver in the Archives, which highlights literary discoveries, he contributes to the blog Wormwoodiana, devoted to classic "literature of the fantastic, supernatural and decadent." And for those with even more rarified bibliophilic tastes, he also does a personal blog for Lesser-Known Writers.

Two blogs are devoted to favorite neglected writers Leonard Cline and Kenneth Morris.
