One Google Books To Rule Them All? [4]:

Good: A really thorough examination of copyright and books.

Bad: The _only_ mention of libraries is the DPLA project.

Ugly: The author perspective he gets is Ursula Le Guin, not exactly the most balanced of voices on this subject. Would love to have had a counterpoint to her POV in the the form of one of the usual suspects (Doctorow et al).
