Google does account for some errors in their books. I had one with very minor errors because of OCR. I believe the lowercase e with accent was accidentally rendered as a 3. Didn't bother me. In contrast, the same book uploaded to archive by an institution other than google, was absolutely riddled with errors and unreadable.

This one I've paid for is perfect, and the illustrations render well. I'm happy.
