Access is no longer open (at least not from my side)... I guess it was some bug at Springer? A pity.

#112Huh? I'm seeing 135 books there, total, including 4 in math.
Springer actually seems to offer >19,000 math books.
Is that the correct link? What am I missing?

#113The fun is over. There are only 135 books available now instead of 56,000.
Yeah, most of the books I attempted to download were restricted.

#114Anyone managed to crawl the site before prices appeared again? :P

None of the links work for me, even though I was able to download a few hours ago. I have the option to purchase...

#116Well there are prices appearing now for me in the UK so apparently those freebies weren't intentional. sad
Same here. I tried one hour ago and could get one and now is all "Get Access"
Bad Springer :(

#117I'm now seeing "Get Access" (i.e., pay money) instead of "Download Book". I wonder if Springer shut this down? Or if there is some quantity or rate limit on the downloads?

Seems to have gone dead. Maybe it was a bug at Springer or a brief promotion.

#119While this may have been true when it was posted it is no longer true. If you think about it the idea doesn't make sense because the still living authors still want a cut. It's unfortunate because it's very difficult to find good textbooks just by searching yourself because the prices are so high.

Same here - was seeing 59 pages of stats books this morning, and only 2 books are in stats now.
