Moore Books: Specialist books
mining, speleology (caving), industrial history, walking, travel and the outdoors.
updated website
Moore Books is pleased to reveal some changes to the front-house part of the website.
Whilst the bookshelves part of the site is still the place to go to search for and order books, the links section of the website has been updated to make it easier for the links to be maintained and a blog section has been added.
Mike Moore will use the blog to tell you about special events in the speleology world that may be of interest to you as well as news of some of his trips and recent book acquisitions.
Please feel free to comment below and tell us what you would like to see and what you do and do not like about the site.
I have just added a reCAPTCHA test to the site for comment submissions which makes it more difficult for spammers and the like using scripts to spam sites like this as it asks for some human interaction to confirm a visual or audile prompt.
The reCAPTCHA system gains benefits for society by using the interaction to help confirm words from old books that have been scanned in but which could not be interpreted by OCR (optical character recognition) technology. You are asked to confirm a word the system already knows and one that had scanning problems. If you know the one the system knows you are probably a reliable source to help interpret the word the system does not know. Of course, the system uses more than the input of one person to determine what the problem word is.
So, even though it is a bit of a pain to have to answer the test to post a comment, consider that you are both protecting this site and helping society in general.
You can learn more on the reCAPTCHA website.
