Project: Gutenberg has been around since the Internet was very,
very young — the Web wasn’t even born yet. It’s an effort to
catalog as many free books and texts as possible. Gutenberg has
thousands of books from hundreds of authors; all in the public
domain, all free. Download, print, and enjoy. I’m reading
“Collective Knowledge: Intranets, Productivity, and the Promise
of the Knowledge Workplace” by Robert Marcus and Beverley
Watters and I ran across the origin of the Gutenberg name:
Johannes Gutenberg is given the credit for […] the invention of
printing with movable type and for the concept of unlimited
reproduction. His first work, known as the Gutenberg Bible, was
a 42-line […] bible that appeared about 1456. What Links Here No
