"ISBN 1-55285-842-1" might not seem revolutionary, but, published online, indicating a book you can borrow in your neighbourhood, perhaps it is.

This International Standard Book Number is for John Kimantas' book The Wild Coast 3: a kayaking, hiking and recreation guide for BC's south coast and east Vancouver Island.

Other ISBNs, similarly posted online, many times over, indicating a sharable book, would make for a new sort of public library, where books of all sorts are availabe in every neighbourhood.

For this example of a small step towards a new type of public library, see here.
