Introduction
On SimPvP there is a rich culture in not only Map Art, but also books. The SimPvP Digital Library is an idea created by DKC in which he uses a book copying mod to allow for the notepad translation of any books on SimPvP. This project was followed when DKC was using a book writing mod, allowed at the time, to create his own library of Edgar Allan Poe's works on SimPvP, but when informed by Korijenkins that he could not use the mod to create books, he decided to use it to document them.
