IIRC the OP is looking for free self help books mainly and mostly these are under copyright.

So under the assumption this is still the case.

@EbookNovice
There is no place to get these books for free legally AFAIK. There is no website that can tell you for sure that there are no alterations made. Sure maybe they can say that, but you would be foolish to believe them.

I don't think you are trying to get illegal books, just that what you are looking for is not there.

Your best source is the public library if you want free books that have not been altered in a harmful way.
