Dear list,
The British Library has just launched
https://data.bl.uk/
with data sets including some 50,000 digitized books from 1510 to 1946.
Infuriatingly, there isn't a simple manifest of these books. There is an
enormous (50mb) JSON file
https://data.bl.uk/digbks/db21.html
which I've been trying to wrangle with little success.
What's the best way of getting information out of this blob? ANy help
for a JSON newbie?
TIA
John
