Welcome to bookcove.net

This is a development site.

The site is organized based on activities: in the Library users can check out books, read and write book reviews and search the catalog. In the Factory, users can see how the site’s tools can be used to produce more texts working from the original scans. Books can be produced for this site or for related sites. Some tools are available for use online. Some software tools are downloadable.

News from the Factory

First pure "Born as Git" book produced

17-Dec-2025: "The Courage of Marge O’Doone" was produced entirely from the public GitHub repository. A book can be added to the bookcove collection simply by adding a repository containing the information needed. That's a source file (TEI subset), optional CSS, images, and a metadata JSON file. Follow the link to see the repository for this first book using that process. more info →
