Given a URL of an IIIF manifest pointing at a series of scanned book pages, produce a new book that cuts out words (or bits misidentified as words) revealing the pages beneath. (IIIF is an API and data format for describing image sequences for use in academia and research, and can be applied to individual documents, maps, books, or ephemera.)

Abstract cut up image Blank squares cut out from text with image visible underneath Large bird painting with intersecting text Drawing of a castle with visible text cutting through Flowers painting with intersecting textSketch of a man with overlaid text

The "official" NaNoGenMo entry is 99 pages produced from Boswell's Life of Johnson (26MB PDF). Boswell, James, 1740-1795. Boswell's Life of Johnson, extra-illustrated, 1464-1897. MS Hyde 76, vol. 2, pt. 1. Houghton Library, Harvard University, Cambridge Mass.

Sample from the entry:

The webapp can be used to view one page at a time. It's preconfigured with an interesting book, or you can paste your own IIIF manifest.
