Probably not all the text on Internet Archive migh be high-res, btw.

@issybirth: what I don't particularly like about Project Gutenberg, other than it having had books sold on Amazon, being taken from there, is that as them rewrite in digital a book, instead of scanning, I would not be that confident that "anyone" can translate or being that neat on.
Isn't that what proofreading is for - to maintain accuracy in transcription?

I agree with @retiredbiker that Roy's library is worth a look. Where else can you find decent sexton Blake stories?
