The Edmonton Sun takes a look at Greg Newby, Mark Akrigg and a worldwide society of text treasure hunters, led by Michael Hart, couldn’t live with themselves if that happened.

Think of Newby, Akrigg and Hart as a breed of literary Indiana Jones — searching along forgotten bookshelves, instead of dark, damp tombs. The thinking man’s library raiders — with computers instead of wooden crates to store their prized finds.
Newby?
