A bunch of stuff from my childhood that's not really available (or is very expensive) including
Wally Cox-My Life as a Small Boy Any/all Howard Pease books--I'm sure they're pretty politically incorrect, so I'll probably never see them again, but I loved these as a kid Last edited by Ginwen; 11-27-2013 at 10:10 PM. |

It's always interesting when new documents come into the public domain. Although, truth be told, not being a big reader of world history I probably won't make the time to read it. But still interesting to know what's available none the less. |

It might be fun to re-read some of the Hardy Boys mysteries, by Franklin W. Dixon, that I read as a kid.
I assume they are long out of print, and e-book format would seem to be a logical format for them. Update: After further research, it turns out that not only are at least some of these books available from Amazon, but there are even some with Kindle versions!

No, the results are very good. I received the files in PDF then converted them using Adobe AcrobatX Pro then Calibre (which now has a 64bit version). |

Too many to count. All the books I'd love to reread, including some books from my youth. Most are in Dutch.
Edit: You got me looking at Mary Stewart on Amazon.com. I only know of 4 books by her and they're available there! Her Arthurian Saga is available as one Kindle book... Last edited by Sweetpea; 12-12-2012 at 08:25 AM. |
