Lost Bookmark(Help Needed)

bluesjunior · 03-01-2013, 08:01 AM

I had a bookmarked site which I sometimes used for freebook downloads and must have somehow deleted the bookmark I had for it. Although I can't remember the name of this site it did have a memorable front page which was a graphic of a set of wooden bookshelves with the books for downloads displayed on the shelves.
It wasn't a huge site with thousands of books but they did have some good ones in the thriller, spy adventure genres. Do any of the members here remember such a site and what it was called or even better and has a link to it?. Thanks in advance for any help.

What are one of the books you downloaded for free? That might help to find it again.

This is the only one I know about with a graphic resembling what you described.

No it wasn't that one. It isn't a single bookshelf like that one but an open faced cabinet with I think four shelves. I can't remember which book(s) I downloaded from there to be honest.

You can't remember the name of the site, any portion of the url, or any of the books you downloaded from it... yet it's imperative that you find it again.

Do you have some vague idea when you visited this site last time? Maybe it's still in the cache folder of your browser?

Go to your browser's history.......and browse to your heart's content.

Not possible I'm afraid my browser is set to delete history every time it closes. I can't stand clutter on PC's which unfortunately for me is most likely why it got deleted/

Where in my OP is the word "imperative" used?. I asked for a little help, if you can't help then please don't make it appear as if I posted something untrue. Thanks awfully!!!!.

So let me guess this straight: you're allowed to make assumptions about my intentions... but I get rapped on the knuckles with a ruler for including a word you never used?

Sounds familiar.

There was a site with an appearance similar to what you describe that I visited a few times a couple of years ago. I stopped visiting the site when it appeared to be hosting pirated books. I just took a look through my bookmarks to see if I could find it and the only one it might have been is no longer active. The link goes to a general server's page. Was the site you're looking for active recently?

Think this might be it?

I don't know if that's what the OP is looking for, but I certainly thank you for the link! There's some very lovely epub versions of Talbot Mundy's works available there (with no disrespect intended to the contributors of the same material available in MobileRead's own library).

EDIT: always check to see if stuff is actually PD in your country before downloading, of course.

bluesjunior · 03-08-2013, 03:59 AM

Thank you Piperclassique, that is the one I was looking for. Consider the problem solved.
