<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span class="contentpasted0"><span style="color:black">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></span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
