OHMIGOD, It's full of stars!! There are tons of great books here. The download rate is a slow (of course). Reddit guys are working on putting the stuff on torrent somewhere.

Some of these books are already freely available. The others are illegal copies, as far as I can see. I have no idea how they got their hands on so many texts. The number is quite mind boggling. This won't last long, though.

Yeah. It's worth browsing, and if you see something you would download, google for copyright info.

almost 38,000 books, it is incredible.
