Synthesized answer
The preservation of original "notes de bas de page et autres annotations en marge" in digital copies serves as a reminder of the book's "long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you" [2] or, in French, "du long chemin parcouru par l'ouvrage depuis la maison d'edition en passant par la bibliotheque pour finalement se retrouver entre vos mains" [1]. These annotations communicate the history and movement of the physical book.
While the passages state that these annotations are retained "as a souvenir of the long journey" [1] and "a reminder of this book's long journey" [2], they do not explicitly explain the broader significance of preserving these elements or what they communicate about the "value of the physical book" beyond its journey.

More questions about this book
- Explain in your own words what "appartenir au domaine public" means and why this status is fundamental to Google's mission of making these digital copies accessible to everyone.
- The text describes public domain books as "des liens avec le passé" and "les témoins de la richesse de notre histoire." How do Google's digitization efforts and usage guidelines reflect this inherent value placed on cultural heritage?
- Given that the digitization project is described as "coûteux," analyze why Google chooses to implement strict non-commercial use policies instead of seeking revenue through sales or subscriptions. What are the core principles guiding this decision?
- If you were to explain to a peer why Google refers to itself as "les gardiens de ce patrimoine," how would you articulate the responsibilities and ethical considerations implied by this role, using examples from the text?
