Someone needs to scan the book and upload it to library genesis. The article said Google had developed this massively efficient apparatus for scanning (or taking photographs of) books, and most of the article was about out-of-print books.

I personally have actually tried to contribute to libgen a particular difficult-to-find-online book by buying it, scanning it, and uploading it. There need to be more people doing this.



Did you use a scanning service or do it yourself?


I did it myself. A few hours for 500 pages. Surprisingly soothing.
