Thanks to Peter Suber's OA News for drawing attention to an item about the downside of Google Books.

It seems that the flaws are quite numerous but, to my mind readily fixable, if Google took a grip on quality control: it doesn't really take much to determine whether the scanned pages are of acceptable quality, for example.

This is a useful article and one that ought to be read by Google's executives - fix it guys before you lose credibility.
