I submitted my book to the legal deposit program
As publisher of Snail Books, I am thrilled to announce the Official Legal Deposit Receipt from Library and Archives Canada for The Divine Mind: A Theological Fantasy and the Mysterious Game of Dasmark.
Legal deposit is a system that mandates Canadian publishers to submit copies of their publications to Library and Archives Canada (LAC). This program is intended to build a national collection that reflects the country’s cultural and intellectual heritage. It allows LAC to preserve these works for future generations and make them accessible to the public.
The Divine Mind was the first publication of my small Canadian press last year. While my press is not strictly required to submit for legal deposit, I wanted to build my credibility as publisher and make my works accessible.
You can tell from the following link that The Divine Mind is available from the LAC website.
no:1574024552 | Search | Bibliothèque et Archives Canada / Library and Archives Canada
Notice how you can view the epub version of the book online using the LAC epub reader – very nice! You can also download the epub and pdf versions. I gave permission to access the books for free. They will be available long after my Snail Books site goes down. Enjoy.
