This has been discussed before and the consensus of opinion, if memory serves correctly, is that
the person making this available has no legal right to do so. If this is in fact the case, it raises some
unpleasant questions, chief among which is what other books will be put on line. How many authors
care to run the risk of someone using their work in this manner?

Awesome! A lengthy endeavor, for certain.
I'm looking forward to the edits, clarifications and corrections.

We are open to suggestions as to how to enhance it , without changing anything. I know that sounds like a play on words. What I mean is the book won't be changed but if at all possible to allow input from those who have numismatic issues, disagree with any of Breen's work, Should it be included somehow? How? Anything else?
Bear in mind that it's still basically in the testing stage. We have not done any tests to see if in fact it's complete and working. But we're working on it. Soon as we're 100% sure then we'll mention our own ideas of what we would like to do and how much further we would like to take it.

That said, I am all for this as long as the book is out of print and as Tom says, they have permission from the legal copyright holders.
