Download the classics

September 12, 2006

If you have used Google Books to look for content by search terms before, you will be thrilled to learn about the good news: starting this month Google made possible for us to download several out-of-copyright books in PDF format.

Among the selected works we can find Aesop’s Fables, Dante’s Inferno and Shakespeare’s Hamlet, all public domain books.

How does it work? Simple. Visit the Google Books site, type what you are looking for, and locate a Full View edition of a book. With some luck you will be able to click on the PDF download button, read a good masterpiece, and be in effect a more knowledgeable human being. The trick is now using this knowledge for Good, but that is another story.
