Bookchan (http://www.anonib.com/bookchan)

Usually, if you ask, someone has it.
Communist Manifesto and the Little Red Book is here.

[Black Dagger]

http://gigapedia.org/

Site presents itself as being a hub for book reviews etc.- but if you register an account (free) - you can view the comments section for each book entry- and thus access links to download each book!

There's heaps of textbooks on there as well, in a wide range of categories - all of which would cost serious $$$ So save yourselves some money!

[Mujer Libre]

Updated the original post to include the latest additions- as well as free medical textbooks- yay! Keep 'em coming peoples!

[ellipsis]

also Google Books (http://books.google.com) has a good amount of full text books, as well as partial previews of others.

[Mujer Libre]

Edited to include the Mother Earth archive.

I direct comrades to a wonderful recource. An initiative by people to turn texts with expired copyrights into audio-books downloadable free of charge; http://librivox.org

You can even find books such as Marx's Wage-Labor and Capital (http://librivox.org/wage-labour-and-capital-by-marx-karl/)

Oh that will be very useful. :)

The Black Market Press, Bookchan and Digital Book Index- Feminism links are broken by the way. :crying:

[ManyAntsDefeatSpiders]

The CWLU Historical Archive (http://www.cwluherstory.com/CWLUArchive/archive.html) is a good feminist resource. :)

[cleef]

V for vendetta is quality...shame its a torrent link as not everyone uses them...in the process of upping it in PDF format to rapidshare etc. :cool:

[Pawn Power]

Scribd (http://www.scribd.com/)

[Asoka89]

They limit you to downloading a few of the books per week, after which you can download again.

And the downloads are held off site via uploaders and torrents so I'm not directly linking to a piracy site (I've read rules and know copyright law). Even if they did directly host their clever limit on downloads makes it like a library where you can "rent" books digitally for the week, many of them are out of copyright or print anyway.

Definately my new favorite site on the internets, let's see how long it stays up:

[Cymru]

Nice one mate

[Cymru]

I just downloaded the Orwell collection and all the books are in notepad file :(

[Asoka89]

yeah almost all the books are pdf, but a few of the old ones are in .txt. I just uploaded them all to an ebook reader ( got my friends for 100 bucks or so ).

Do the .txt files read on an e-reader?

[Asoka89]

Yup

[bellyscratch]

Just made a thread (http://www.revleft.com/vb/reading-left-t111162/index.html) about this, so I'll post it here too
http://www.readingfromtheleft.com/

[Red Saxon]

So I decided to make a community effort to make an online library of sorts on topics regarding leftist politics, history, ect. The site is temporarily located on the free Weebly service, but I'm building a new site as we speak with CSS and AJAX that'll I host on my server when it's finished. I just want some advice/comments on what you all think of it and the idea in general.

[The Idler]

Is it reinventing the wheel? Why not contribute to MIA or Gutenberg?

[Red Saxon]

Is it reinventing the wheel? Why not contribute to MIA or Gutenberg?I got the idea because I was always tired of searching through those archives for specific material.

[ellipsis]

uh link? or are you asking for help?

[Drace]

I still doubt anyone is going to be able to open up ePub files...

[Sean]

I've wanted to do this for a long while. I've suggested a torrent so we can add stuff not covered by gutenberg. DjVu is an awesome format, its as clean as pdf but much smaller in size like 1/5th.

[Drace]

Pdf is small as is.

[Red Saxon]

So I found an already well established Anarchist Library, so I'm just going to contribute to that.

Now that I think about it, it would take absolutely forever to upload all the leftist works.

[autonomous bomb thrower]

I have found this book to be very helpful in underatanding guerrilla warfare and the application of its tactics. It gives accounts of mujahideen fighting the soviet and dpr forces. The book provides maps and commentary on what went wrong and what went right in the tactics employed. It provides info on ambushes,raids,urban warfare, shelling etc. I recommend it to all who is interested in revolutionary warfare.

just search tribalanalysiscenter mujahideen tactics in the soviet afghan war pdf on google. It want let me post a link for some god damn reason. It should be the first link.

[Robespierres Neck]

I read an article online about a scan of Mengistu's memoirs of his rule in Ethiopia have surfaced around the web. Does anyone know where I can find this?

[ComingUpForAir]

Be nice if there were selections available from the Frankfurt School! Moar Marxist criticism please!!
