    Out of Copyright Books Online?

    I was wondering if there are any out-of-copyright books available online, considering that some books are very old indeed. Thanks!

    100% for me too, FB. "The Lost Pibroch" by Neil Munro, 1923 edition; a nearly new "Tunes of Glory" by Kenaway, and many others.

    archive.org has quite the selection of old books available for free, if you don't mind reading them on the web.
