Hi George; There is a drop-down on Google Books and one of the options is "Full View." If a book is offered in full view, it should be able to be downloaded.
I used Project Gutenberg for years, for Public Domain books but their offerings paled in comparison to Google Books.

They say they go there first when they start doing any research. The only problem is there is no way to narrow the search to the books scanned in a particular library. And yes some books have a download link ------------------------------------- HASCALL, DAVID CIV DFAS<[email protected]> wrote: Have you heard much about "Google Books?" I vaguely heard about the new Google app but Bob Rankin wrote an article on them at: http://askbobrankin.com/what_is_google_books.html While I'm not sure how to download books from Google books, let alone read them (yet), I did s search on the generic term radio and got over 200,000 hits! That is a lot of books and magazine articles. I saw some QST's from the 1940's and a White's Radio Log from 1939. Hopefully someone can figure out how to read them. This may be a valuable tool (even beyond DX!). 73, Dave Hascall Indianapolis, IN _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
