“What had the most effect on me were the last three slides of the book. The third to last slide shows the due dates of when the book was checked out, the first being in 1886 and the most recent in 1991. To think that a science book published over 100 years ago is still relevant in today’s medical field. Especially when the science field is constantly changing with new discoveries.
The slide after this is my favorite. It is another slip of due dates but this one contains the signatures of the users. It truly makes the book so much more real to me; it is not just digitized pages by Google. It is something tangible that has been passed down and used for over 100 years. This book has made its way from G.P. Putnam’s Sons publishing company to the screen of Google Books.”
