New announcement from Princeton Press

They will monetize the backlist and offer the collection through
"leading library aggregators" with Ingram as the primary provider.

It will be valuable to have this list available in digital form, but
the project reminds me of Tommy Lee Jones in *Men in Black* when he
shows Will Smith the amazing technologies the aliens have brought.
Showing him a tiny device that stores incredible quantities of
recorded music (MIB came some years before the iPod), he tosses it
aside with the throwaway line, "Guess I'll have to buy the White Album
again."

What we now call "content" is the gift that lets you keep paying for
it over and over and over . . . I bought the White Album again myself
in about 2006.
