Free Books Available Dec 1, 2012


WELCOME!!!
Please see above for how to read these books without a Kindle, and the sidebar at right for a quick explanation of this blog. Have fun getting new books! :) May I suggest that you check daily so you don't miss all those available for only 24 hours?

------------------------------------
If you are coming here on a later date, please check the most recent list for today's books. Main Page
(Some of the books below may still be available. I haven't checked specifically. Most are usually 1 or 2 days but sometimes they are free longer.).


I have a request for help from readers:  This book that I came across free today and looked into a little closer (because the language of the sample was so different from the language of the author bio)
 No. 1 GUIDE TO GARDENING is plagiarized.  The book (under a different title)
 was actually written by L H Bailey in 1910, see here: http://www.archive.org/stream/manualgardening00bailgoog/manualgardening00bailgoog_djvu.txt, http://www.booksshouldbefree.com/book/Manual-of-Gardening-Second-Edition-by-Bailey, and here: http://www.cybersoftware.co.uk/gardeningplr/gardeningclassic/contents.htm

Now I am not allowed to leave reviews because I have never actually paid for anything on Amazon!  (I know, isn't that weird?)  Would some of you be willing to go there and leave reviews about it?  I think it's important that the "author" be outed.  Can you believe that he is normally charging $9.00 for a book written 100 years ago (and found free online), taking credit for it too?  No doubt his other books are the same, if anyone wants a crusade.


Now for today's books.

  1. Natalia, I checked out the sample of the Manual of Gardening book and submitted my review warning people off. Everything I could see (without spending $9.00) is it is indeed plagarized and I have a real pet peeve with plagarization.

    Thanks for the heads up.
    Enjoy your weekend.
