LINKS TO OTHER ONLINE LITERATURE SITES

• Project Gutenberg Home Page
  -- The premier project on the Net for making texts freely available.
  [Exhortation: Project Gutenberg does not charge anything for its work, all done by volunteers, but it still has some operating costs. By my estimate about 25 percent of the net's literature is a result of Project Gutenberg's efforts. Other electronic publishers freely use Gutenberg's editions, without attribution or payment (as was intended). If you are enjoying reading books online, please consider sending a donation to Project Gutenberg, something comparable to what you would have paid in a used bookstore for that reading and felt was a bargain.]
