- Why did It charge me 29.95 when I only payed for the $2 one? I want to cancel my 2 day membership which has been charging me 29.95 per month. How do I cancel it? I would also like a refund back because this is crazy that there is no way to cancel your membership. Please respond ASAP so I.
- I think Bartleby has a secret reason for all these things and behaviour and that's also the reason why he does not have anything to live for.

Bartleby.com is an electronic text archive, headquartered in Los Angeles and named after Herman Melville's story 'Bartleby, the Scrivener.' It was founded under the name 'Project Bartleby' in January 1993 by Steven H. van Leeuwen as a personal, non-profit collection of classic literature on the website of Columbia University. In February 1994 he published the first classic book in HTML, Whitman's Leaves of Grass.[1] In 1997 it moved to its own domain, bartleby.com, and was called 'The New Bartleby Library', where it continued to publish highly accurate transcriptions. In September 1999 Bartleby.com was incorporated and started to focus on reference works, including the contemporary 6th edition of the Columbia Encyclopedia.
In June 2009, licensed reference works from Columbia University Press and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt were removed from the site 'due to financial and usage considerations.' By January 2013, on its twentieth anniversary, more than one billion pages had been accessed.[2]
In August 2017 Bartleby.com was acquired by Barnes & Noble Education in its purchase of Student Brands, which had bought the site in December 2016.[3]
