The Library also has manuscript collections, original artwork, and assorted ephemera such as board games, puzzles, and toys. The Baldwin Library is known for comparative editions of books, with special emphasis on Robinson Crusoe, Pilgrim’s Progress, Aesop’s Fables, and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The Library also has the largest collection of Early American Juvenile Imprints of any academic institution in the United States.

Other strengths and distinctions of the Baldwin Library include: marginalia and inscriptions, the Hans Christian Andersen Awards Collection, Little Golden Books, religious tracts, and illustrated editions from the Golden Age of Children's Literature. Children's Collections. Free epub children's picture books. These were created from the free books available as part of Project Gutenberg. Of all eBook formats, I chose the epub standard because it's open and well-documented, it makes good use of existing standards, and the FBReader eBook reader program can read epub files.

Most importantly, FBReader is the only eBook reader that I know can run on the OLPC XO laptop. 20 January Anne Gentle has kindly written up instructions on how to download these books to an XO and open them up: Use the XO's Browse activity to download the epub files, then use the Journal, an SD card or USB stick, and the Terminal to transfer the files from the Journal's datastore to the FBReader's default directory. While you could copy files directly from the Journal's datastore using the Terminal, the random file names are nearly impossible to use to determine which file is your downloaded epub file.
