<span style="margin:0px" class="ContentPasted0">In the book I re-examine the established narrative of Project Gutenberg's development beyond the often-hagiographic focus on Michael Hart's role as the founder, instead focusing on how the Project was a team effort
that required legal and technical expertise to grow. While I mainly focus on the history of digital publishing and digitization, I tie this together with research from the history of computing and the emergence of the Internet which should be of interest to
SIGCIS members.</span></div>
