Hello,
I sort of stumbled across this one when I was looking for a book. https://good-read.club/
Do you all think it is a reliable source for LV? Now, I don't know if they are all in public domain on there, but if so, do you think LV could make an account that all the readers could get in to to use that website? I haven't looked at it much, so I don't know what's on there, but thought that some others might want to take a look at it.

They look like republished e-books. I'm not sure this would be a good source, as it probably doesn't note the edition the PD text was taken from.

I'm guessing the PD books they have on there would probably all be available elsewhere (Archive, Gutenberg, Hathi) since they probably only offer the more popular old books.

And would we want to source books behind a membership wall, even if that wall is free?
