Personally i want to create a very very good digital library. Like mjh215 said, its there now but who knows if it will always be there! These digital copies are almost better than the real thing, these never get old while books age and need to be replaced eventually.
Old books are like an inprint of time, sure archeology, history views might have changed, but its almost a social study to see how society thought at one time. Hence why these book are of much value to me
