Free Ebooks from the Gutenberg Project

The Project Gutenberg collection is a wiki that was produced by tens of thousands of volunteers.

There are over 20,000 free books in the Project Gutenberg Online Book Catalog.

A grand total of over 100,000 titles is available at Project Gutenberg Partners, Affiliates and Resources.

If you don't live in the United States, please check the copyright laws of your country before downloading or redistributing a book. (I don't know what the e-copyright is in SA - guess I'll ask Paul Jacobsen to post a link or comment.

Hi

Thanks for the mention. I took a look at the site and it seems that copyright has expired in the US and if I understand the law in SA correctly, this means copyright has expired here too and the books are now in the public domain.

That being said it makes sense to check up on copyright of any works you download or buy, just to be sure.
