EDIT: I’ve expanded the list quite a bit and included non-Google sources, but it’s getting to unmanageable to post here (around 250 pdf’s). Instead, I’ll keep it updated here: G’Oogle. If you have any good ones for me to add, just pm me.

2

why do you say that? I’m in Canada and I am able to get them (and since they are plain links they should be available to anyone).


anyway, thanks for the list! it’s great.

3

Those in Britain, so I’ve been told, are not able to see them. My co-blogger Roger Pearse from England uses me to get around it.

4

I can’t download them either, and I’m in New Zealand. It seems to be restricted to the American Continent.

I’ve checked Ed’s list: the books below are available outside the US:

hijack:

the american continent? aren’t there two? north and south? :wink:


(I’m just picky because we Canadians REALLY hate being confused with or grouped with americans. :wink:

7

No offense meant, klewis…that’s why I said ‘continent’… so, how should I phrase it to avoid angry Canadians coming after me? :stuck_out_tongue:

8

I had thought that Google just prevented all of them from being available, the fact that it is some and not others is really curious. It can’t possibly because of copyright, some of the books they are preventing are 150+ years old. And why Penrose’s Exercises, but not the Key to the same book? It’s very strange.

9

Don’t forget Pharr: [http://books.google.com/books?id=r4IKAAAAIAAJ&dq=inauthor:pharr&num=100&as_brr=1[url](http://books.google.com/books?id=r4IKAAAAIAAJ&dq=inauthor:pharr&num=100&as_brr=1[url)]

This copy doesn’t have the missing pages that Textkit’s does. Don’t even try the 18.5 MB copy, on the theory it’ll have more resolution or something; it’s apparently been in a fire.

I Wasn’t able to download anything from Google Books since February, but then I found a Firefox Extension called DownThemAll that ignores the “kill” signal they send after at most 4 MB–and also the one-hour limit that cuts you off after about 18.5. Yes, some of us still use dialup. Pathetic, huh?

10

I’ve checked the copyright laws of the Netherlands, which seem to be common in Europe: here, a book is copyrighted up until 70 years after the death of the author. So, books of authors who died before 1937 are now out of copyright.
I guess Google assumes people reach an age of about 90 and write their first book when they are about 20; as I don’t have any books written after 1870 in my downloads. But there are exceptions, as with the Key Ed mentioned. And Ritchies Fabulae Faciles is not available via Google, but has been for years on the Gutenberg Project.

11

I think to everyone, except, I guess, to Americans and Canadians, there is only one American continent. There are subdivisions (North, South, Central, Caribbean), but ONE continent. :wink:

12

Oh, Amadeus. Do you know the book Los exploradores españoles del siglo XV by Charles Fletcher Lummis? It´s very beautiful and good. I recommend you it. (I have an edition from the 1930s) http://www.abebooks.com/servlet/BookDetailsPL?bi=752975765&searchurl=sts%3Dt%26an%3Dcharles%2Bfletcher%2Blummis%26y%3D0%26x%3D0

P.S.: The links above are excelent. :wink:

13

Salve, Gonzalo. No, I haven’t heard of that book. The title looks interesting. I’ll have to buy it sometime.

Also, I just did a flash research about the American continent, and it seems that there are actually several models being taught in different parts of the world. The Anglophone community is taught that there is a North America (Canda, USA and Mexico) and a South America. They include the Antartic as a continent also. So that’s a total of 7 continents. Whereas the Spanish-speaking community is only taught of 5 continents, id est, one American contient, and no Antartic continent.

Well, live and learn. I’ll just stick to the 5 I’ve known all my life.

14

really! I had no idea that there were different ways… I’ve always been taught 7 continents. So yeah, to avoid annoying Canadians, it’s safest to say North America (also, in the case of the books, it is most likely just Canada and the US anyway… South America probably can’t access the books either).

Canadians are particularly touchy about this due to a) our love-hate relationship with the US and b) the fact that we derive so much of our identity from NOT being American. It’s deeply rooted within our psyche. :slight_smile:

15

If you aren´t in the USA -like me- and you want to get that PDFs -whose access is only avaliable to the US country- you have only to turn your language preferences into English (US). I have done that and now I am able to it.

16

As far as I know there are no language preferences for the Google Books section; and my general preferences are English already. Are there any other places where you could change this? It seems to know I am in Holland and keeps on giving me the Dutch version on subsequent pages, even if the main page is in ENglish.

Ingrid

17

Excuse me, I have mistaken. I were talking about Live Search books (Microsoft), whose server does not allow you to get their books if you aren´t in the US.

18

Not true, as my co-blogger has shown.

Edit: Oops, saw that out of context. Mea culpa.

19

Are the Microsoft books not stored on archive.org (which should be universally available)? Any I’ve found through Microsoft’s site have come from there, and it’s infinitely better to search archive.org than it is that fiasco of a search engine Microsoft is experimenting with. Or am I wrong and there are books that you can get from the Microsoft site that are not stored on archive.org? [I’m personally only interested in downloadable books, of course, I’m sure there are “preview” types of things there.]

20

Chris: Precisely, Chris, I know Live Search Books by means of your blog.

Eddonelly: If you want to get only downloadable books, you must turn the “finder box” in that way. I´m not sure if I have given you a correct response. I also refuse viewing the previews… :stuck_out_tongue:
