Default Online Public Library.... of sorts

I may be giving old information, but as a new member I did a thorough site search using multiple search terms that all came back with no results.

For those of you who are serious researchers there's no better resource than a well stocked library. I've recently discovered an on-line library that gives you access to a plethora of alternative books. I've used this resource extensively over the past few months and have found every book there I went searching for.

The site is called, bibliotecapleyades.net. When I want to find a book, I google search the title of the book as the "search term" with the addition of "bibliotecapleyades.net" included in the search engine with the book title. Try it with any book you may want to review, and see if it works for you.

This is the fastest way that I've discovered to find specific titles on the site.
If you were to use the on-site search engine, you don't always get the entire book you are looking for.

I hope you will find this new tool informative....

Thanks for this info my friend; and i appreciate and understand your concern as well. I have found two sites, which are also very helpful to find most of e-books

www.scribd.com and

www.4shared.com

Generally, those books which are available online, can be found there; however i would be happy to hear other sources as well!!

Spread the Knowledge!!

bibliotecapleyades.net is a great resource for fringe and alternative materials. And fortunately its not the only one.

sacred texts and crystal links are also excellent references.

And relax observer, I don't think its a crime to post a link

www.truly-free.org/

A pretty good list of research material.

I too am offering this link in the spirit of "public information", and "educational purposes".

Thank you for these additional links Rebel. I checked-out both of them and it looks as though you have to download the e-books to be able to read them. The difference with the site that I linked is there is no downloading required. Each chapter of any book is a separate web page. All you have to do is add the page to your "Favorites" and save the URL into a folder. I find this to be a much more efficient way to save a book.

I appreciate your comment Majorion. Being new here, and after reading the rules, I wasn't quite sure if this post would be acceptable behavior. I'll wait to hear from one of the moderators if I've broken any protocol.... and, if I have, I'll grovel for forgiveness.


edit: spelling correction
