In an article posted on Design Observer, Phil Patton discusses the quality control of Google books and their scanning process. While they are able to complete massive amounts of scanning in a relatively short time, should this be any excuse to the haphazard way they are completing the task? Dates are wrong, authors are wrong, and reading a book will get you a hand in the middle of the page. Although their project is worthy of notice, there is nothing like quality control. Do it right the first time or don't do it at all.
