Dear Editor:
There is a wonderful source for free e-books called Project Gutenberg. The books are free because the Copyright for these books has expired in the United States. (They may still be copyrighted in other countries). So anybody may make verbatim or non-verbatim copies of those works.
This is a wonderful source of information. They will even send free cds and dvds that have as many as 29,000 books each if you request. You can find books on a multitude of ‘How To’ subjects from a time when doing it yourself was the only option.
Of course you can find many of the literary classics including Shakespeare and original writings by and about our Founding Fathers as well.
When I ordered my DVD, I received two copies. One for myself and one to give away to a friend. They encourage making copies and giving those away too. Check out the CD and DVD Project link at the bottom of the page to download or request copies to be mailed to you.
They offer many opportunities to contribute if you aren’t in a situation to donate money (neither of which are required). It definitely is worth anything that you can do to help this project that is working to provide knowledge to everyone who wants it at no charge.
Regards, – Teka
