Internet Archive’s Repository Collects Thousands of Books - NYTimes.com: “We want to collect one copy of every book,” said Brewster Kahle, who has spent $3 million to buy and operate this repository situated just north of San Francisco. “You can never tell what is going to paint the portrait of a culture.”

George is obviously keeping tabs on this operation, concerned that his basement might wind up an also-ran. My money's still on George.
