You are correct! And I even double-checked. I wish I could still edit my original comment.

Wow, that's great! How does it work? Can I just get a logon and read any book there online? Download a PDF or ebook?

This book is part of the Internet Archive's "lending library" -- we own a physical copy, which sits in a shipping container, and we loan one electronic copy. We have an in-browser bookreader that you can use to read it. Sorry, no downloads of lending library books.
