Octavo give access to many famous and historical technology books by making available for viewing online.

"...an extraordinary opportunity for history to be resurrected from rare book rooms and then made available to a wide audience"

"Octavo’s efforts have given rise to a new form of book. In the past, there has been the book itself and the information it contains. Octavo editions provide the visual image of the artifact, the information (text) in fully searchable form, and scholarly annotations that extend well beyond the narrow possibilities of the footnote. It is, perhaps, the kindest, gentlest form of annotation, one that provides a new kind of discovery in texts that have traditionally been beyond the means of most of us."
