Google has scanned 23,400 books that belong to the Monastery of Montserrat without payment. Father Damià Roure, The Library Director at the Monastery, never imagined that Google could make money with the numerical copies of his books. Curiously, I was being refused access to the Library. The official argument was that the facility is strictly reserved to the Christian community.
