[bksvol-discuss] Re: curious about Latest books

Hi, Roger, I've managed to download a drama anthology from open library.
What I want to know are the books not at gutenberg.org. I did put
"accessible books" in quotation marks as you suggest. I got a lot of
stuff by Dickens, Shakespeare, etc. How does one find the other stuff?
Regards, Kim Friedman. P.S.: Your message was very helpful. K.

Do a key word search at Open Library for "accessible book." Be sure to 
enclose the phrase in quotation marks to avoid picking up books that
just 
happen to have those words in the catalog entry seperately. The results
will 
be in the hundreds of thousands. It will include nearly everything
Gutenberg 
has plus protected Daisy books that are still in copyright. Click the
title 
of any of the results you are interested in and on the catalog page you
will 
find a linkk to Daisy somewhere there. Click that and you will be on a
page 
that tells you about Daisy and there will also be a link for downloading
the 
book. Open Library is primarily a catalog and lists nearly twenty-five 
million books if you count the various editions. The ones that can be 
downloaded number in the hundreds of thousands though and there are some

very obscure ones.
