The Textbook Thread

**James Squire** · 19-08-09, 11:17 PM

Thought it might be nice to start a thread related to acquiring pdf textbooks / ebooks. So if you're looking for a particular textbook please list the title and perhaps someone will be able to assist you in locating a copy.

Here is a brief list of sites which I find useful in locating textbooks:

The usual suspects (demon, pirate, iso, mule)
forum akademi
My anonamouse
ebookvortex
puretorrents
mechbooks.blogfa
solutionmanual.net

If anybody knows of anymore sites then please share the goodness.

Thanks

It'd be nice if there was some service that could scan in books for a reasonable price.

Google Book Downloader is kind of cool too. It allows you to download and pdf google books and it works remarkably well for the limited preview books. In a 572 page limited preview textbook Google Book Downloader managed to get almost 490 pages, where as book.huhiho only managed 170 pages or so.

alt.binaries.e-books.technical

I check it every day and at a guess I would say 200 new books are added every day.

Cheers.

Make sure your pop-up blocker is on.

Good source for new books.

I've found that this site has a wide range of books on many subjects.

Realise this is NOT an e-book site, but came across this link earlier this afternoon:

Had no idea this site existed, although may be an avenue for comaprison for those liking the physical product.
