I've registered for this service and am downloading a thesis: Queen Victoria : the monarch and the media 1837-1867 I have agreed to terms and conditions which provide that my copy is only for personal or educational use. The PDF download, 50megs, is free, but I could have had a hardbound copy for 30 pounds.
