Because of the affiliate tags, links to individual titles can't be posted in this thread. The prospective buyer will have to visit the website and search for the titles posted here.
I could strip the tags out, but then the owner(s) of the website wouldn't receive any income for titles that get purchased. Since they're going to the trouble to find and advertise these titles, it's only fair that they get credit for it.

Thanks. I'm glad that you caught that.
I learned a long time ago to check for affiliate tags in URLs of the books that I posted, but I didn't think about pre-checking links to books that are posted on the ABD website. If I had posted one of the books that I had found on ABD, like the Roosevelt title that I referenced, I
think that I would have remembered to have checked for affiliate tags, but I'm not sure.
I did wonder several times how the ABD website and its sister websites generated any income with the paucity of ads on the webpages. ha
I don't think that I have the same inhibitions that you do about stripping the affiliate tags from the books on the ABD website. Don't most of the ebooks posted on the other threads originally (before we strip them) have affiliate tags? Granted, the affiliate tag of an ebook usually is an affiliate tag from the ebook's author (or publisher?) and not from an income-generating website. But I'll have to think about that. Anyway, I appreciate you for your ethical concerns.
I hope that everyone "gets the memo" about not posting individual titles from the ABD website. Or, at least, remembers to check for and strip any affiliate tags.
