There was some question in my mind as to whether or not something such as this ebook, published by an organization for its own purposes, is considered a self-pub. To be "safe," I've posted on this thread, instead of the Non-Fiction thread.

There are many beautiful color photographs in this book.

Title: A History of NYC in 30 Objects.
Format(s): Pdf.
Author(s): Summer 2012 Student Historians.
Publisher: New-York [sic] Historical Society Museum & Library.
Pages: 136.
Ebook Rating/Number of Reviews (Amazon): N/A.
Price: $0.00.
Lowest Price at (or through Amazon) if available from there: N/A.
Book Description (from the introduction):
The New-York Historical Society, one of America’s pre-eminent cultural institutions,is dedicated to fostering research, presenting history and art exhibitions, and public programs that reveal the dynamism of history and its influence on the world of today. Founded in 1804, New-York Historical has a mission to explore the richly layered political, cultural and social history of New York City and State and the nation, and to serve as a national forum for the discussion of issues surrounding the making and meaning of history.

Student Historians are high school interns at New-York Historical who investigate pieces from our vast museum and library collection, conduct research using the resources available to them within a museum setting, and collaborate on an education-minded project . . . .

. . . . this summer’s group of Student Historians each chose an artifact to reveal a piece of NYC’s rich history. When pieced together, the 30 artifacts selected create a patchwork of NYC events, figures, and turning points that not only expose intriguing stories of NYC’s past, but also the varied interests of the 30 Student Historians conducting the research.
Comments: "Presented by the Summer 2012 student historians: 8/16/2012." I believe this to be a legal free download because there is no copyright information given, and the ebook was posted on the non-profit New York Historical Society's website without restrictions or other conditions.
