"The "Rare Book Room" site has been constructed as an educational site intended to allow the visitor to examine and read some of the great books of the world. Over the last decade, a company called "Octavo" digitally photographed some of the world 's great books from some of the greatest libraries. These books were photographed at very high resolution (in some cases at over 200 megabytes per page). This site contains all of the books ( 558) that have been digitized to date. These range over a wide variety of topics and rarity. The books are presented so that the viewer can examine all the pages in medium to medium-high resolution. Some highlights of the site are: Shakespeare Benjamin Franklin Redouté Galileo Copernicus Louis Renard Some of the books are available for sale on CDs from This site will be updated regularly. If you have questions, comments, problems or are interested in high resolution images, then please contact: curator@rarebookroom.org "
