That said I've also come across books which have randomly incorrect titles. Perhaps the incorporation of a

Just started and it looks very useful for my area of interest (Japanese historical topics). Apart from the good collection of books, I also like the interface which allows to quickly collect citations.

Just started it by having a look at
Talbert: Atlas of Classical History. The image resolution of the maps is so low, it is quite embarrassing. The maps are shown, but most place names are unreadable. Not good.

It looks as if this going to be a hugely helpful resource, especially for some the niche topics that I edit. I will add more feedback as I continue to use it. –

So far an extremely helpful tool. Being able to access social science classics without ordering them from a library saves me a lot of time and effort.--
