125,000 Free eBooks: SEARCH OPTIONS (148,000+ eBooks, eTexts, On-Line Books, eDocuments) Why not just do a Google search instead of looking here? This is more direct, indexes collections specifically, and won't throw out red herrings. Memphis Univ School Library "...an astonishing number of electronic books...from an equally astonishing number of sources ... impressive. Very impressive..." Lindsay Periera, REDIFF.COM (INDIA) Pick of the Weekend "One major area of difficulty in the electronic book area of publishing has been bibliographic control. This is a big improvement over the sites I've been recommending to students.
O'Reilly Open Books Project O'Reilly has published a number of Open Books--books with various forms of "open" copyright--over the years. The reasons for "opening" copyright, as well as the specific license agreements under which they are opened, are as varied as our authors. Perhaps a book was outdated enough to be put out of print, yet some people still needed the information it covered. Or the author or subject of a book felt strongly that it should be published under a particular open copyright. But there's more to making Open Books available online than simply adopting an open license or giving up rights granted under copyright law. We're happy to have partnered with two innovative nonprofits, Creative Commons and the Internet Archive, to solve the licensing and digitizing challenges involved in bringing Open Books to readers. While the books listed here use various open licenses, since 2003 we've focused on using the licenses created by Creative Commons. Donate to Creative Commons and the Internet Archive:

Literary Encyclopedia Diario de Oaxaca: A Sketchbook Journal of Two Years in Mexico: Amazon.ca: Peter Kuper, Martin Solares Pulps About This Site Welcome to the Online Pulps site. The purpose of this site is to provide a wide selection of stories from the pulps. Here you will find stories from nearly every genre...detective, science ficton, adventure, romance, western, weird menace, sports, aviation, and even finance! This site was started in February, 2002 and has grown larger than I would ever have thought possible. To make things move a little smoother, this site is now going to be driven directly from a database. Another change is that instead of listing the ranges for each of the author pages and issue pages, only a link to the first respective page will be supplied on this main page. In the future I plan to add a search page and some statistics pages showing the most popular downloads for the week, month, and since the site began. Join the Mailing List If you would like to be notified when new stories are added, I have set up a mailing list through Yahoo Groups for this purpose. How You Can Help How It's Done
Script & Scribble: The Rise and Fall of Handwriting -- New York Magazine Book Review Reading a handwritten article about handwriting, in a 21st-century magazine, is like listening to your great-great-grandfather shout in the middle of a crowded multiplex about the incomparable glories of vaudeville and the lost art of wearing hats in public. And yet, somehow, here we are. Certain vestigial urges have been awakened, deep in the muscles of my fingers and wrists, by Script & Scribble, Kitty Burns Florey’s paean to the now nearly defunct barbarism of dragging ink trails across paper. (I’ve switched to print, for the reasons we always end up switching to print: My handwriting, set against a neat field of type, looks like a giant mess of alien runes, and my keyboard-weakened fingers tend to cramp up after a couple of sentences.) Florey, a nun-educated “scriptomaniac,” lovingly traces the history of handwriting, from its ancient birth to its imminent demise. Handwriting, today, is artisanal—an emblem of slowness in an impatient world.
