  1. Thanks to Online Books by Taco+Cowboy · · Score: 5, Interesting



    Thanks to Copylefted Online Books, I now can read the books before I buy.

    On my bookshelf, seven of the books were bought after I read their online version.

    I live in a third world country where there is no Towers bookstore, nor Borders, nor Barnes - there is NO WAY for you to know how good a book is without first buying the book - the bookstore here do NOT allow you to read the book !

    The idea of Copylefted books really help me, and many others who are in the situation of buying books not knowing if the books are good or not.

    Thanks again !
