Project Gutenberg is the Internet's oldest producer of free electronic books
(eBooks or etexts). Thanks to ibiblio, the Public's Library and Digital
Archive, for hosting the main eBook distribution site and these Web pages.
Most of the Project Gutenberg eBooks are older literary works that are in
the public domain in the United States. All may be freely downloaded and
read, and redistributed for non-commercial use. For complete details, see
the "small print" in each eBook, or Project Gutenberg's online license page
