Best (free) download of Frazer's "Golden Bough?"

curtw · 04-16-2008, 10:30 AM

I'm not exactly sure where to look. Nothing at feedbooks. The Kindle version and the two linked from the on-line books page are abridged editions. Gutenberg's doesn't say if it's unabridged. It's at least in HTML and retains some formatting, but it would be great to download a copy in which somebody else had made sure the "family tree"-type charts displayed OK on an eInk device. Manybooks butchers the Gutenberg edition by destroying the "trees" and endnote links.

Is there one out there, or should I do it myself?

And this:

or this
http://etext.library.adelaide.edu.au.../james/golden/

According to wikipedia, only the 1922 abridgement (69 chapters) is freely available online.

Thanks! I've actually bought the "Sacred Texts" CD to get the arabian Nights, and I hadn't thought to look on that to see if I already had a copy.

Hi Karma 2520,

Yes, Gutenberg's Golden Bough is abridged, same as my hardcover 2 vol copy.

That was a rather odd bump. But since it happened, is there a good e-book version (mobi or epub) of this that has chapters marked? (Not HTML/web version, as was linked in this)

It's one of those books where skipping around is very useful, but the ones I've found didn't have those.
