Over 27,000 books for free !!!

Project Gutenberg is a fantastic site.
I found it about fifteen years ago trading e-text, the address was in the header of the book.
Their goal is to distribute text and books for free to anyone anywhere.
Here's a portion of the history page on their site...

"Project Gutenberg began in 1971 when Michael Hart was given an operator's account with $100,000,000 of computer time in it by the operators of the Xerox Sigma V mainframe at the Materials Research Lab at the University of Illinois.

This was totally serendipitous, as it turned out that two of a four operator crew happened to be the best friend of Michael's and the best friend of his brother. Michael just happened "to be at the right place at the right time" at the time there was more computer time than people knew what to do with, and those operators were encouraged to do whatever they wanted with that fortune in "spare time" in the hopes they would learn more for their job proficiency.

At any rate, Michael decided there was nothing he could do, in the way of "normal computing," that would repay the huge value of the computer time he had been given ... so he had to create $100,000,000 worth of value in some other manner. An hour and 47 minutes later, he announced that the greatest value created by computers would not be computing, but would be the storage, retrieval, and searching of what was stored in our libraries.

He then proceeded to type in the "Declaration of Independence" and tried to send it to everyone on the networks ... which can only be described today as a not so narrow miss at creating an early version of what was later called the "Internet Virus."

A friendly dissuasion from this yielded the first posting of a document in electronic text, and Project Gutenberg was born as Michael stated that he had "earned" the $100,000,000 because a copy of the Declaration of Independence would eventually be an electronic fixture in the computer libraries of 100,000,000 of the computer users of the future. "

Here is an example and the book that I traded for fifteen years ago, along with a discription of the book (because I think you'll love the book too).

This book is being sold under ten or so different names that I know of. One even as an illustrated coffee table book. Some versions being sold are not complete, but this one is.

The name of the book is "Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted, or what's in a dream: a scientific and practical exposition - Gustavus Hindman Miller 1857-1929"

I have studied dreams and dream symbols since early 1970's. I have owned probably fifty or more books on the subject and the problem with that is that most of these books are complete B.S., the other problem is most are very expensive. They are more expensive than most books for a couple of reasons. First they are almost never in stock books, so they must be ordered. Second is they almost never go "on sale", they are always full price. Third is that almost everyone considers dream interpretation "quack science" and everyone loves to make extra money off of quacks.

Ten thousand dreams is by far the cream of the crop as far as these books go. I myself have bought this book more than twenty times. Often copies have been stolen from me by so-called "friends" and just as often I have given away a copy to a friend, because it is such a good book.

This, below I have taken from the download page posted [here], or it's etext #926, if you decide to look for it yourself.
