Re: [Marxism-Thaxis] Free Ebook Service Of Interest (Was U of C Ebooks)

[Bill Quimby]

Well, I am forced to reply that it is up to your individual assessment
of the forces at work in the world of "information wants to be free".
I have had communications with two of the (living) authors on the rg
library list who were happy (privately, because they didn't want to publicly irk
their publishers) to see their works get a wider audience outside
of the constricted "must have academic library access" world. And as you
can see many of the works being broadcast by rg.org are - even if
used - in the $50 to $100 range - meaning that they are out of the hands
of the greater public.

I'm plunging ahead with this amazing resource - with the hope that THEY
will allow me to have paper and pen when THEY give me that opportunity
to record my thoughts in imposed tranquility.

I will be interested to hear what others think.

Is this advisable?

Have you looked at

http://a.rg.org

There is a strong focus on postmodernist heroes, but a fruitful supply
of materials on Marxism, Frankfurt School authors, etc. There is no
search mechanism, but you can click on "Library" and then search
alphabetically by author. You can sign up for a daily "new additions"
newsletter.

I think that rg.org is not a producer per se but an aggregator, as well
as an indicator to others willing to laboriously scan a work. I've noted that
items requested often show up a few days later!

To date, only Verso has issued a formal cease and desist request.
