It's obvious to me yet again....I was born far too soon.
When I was in school, I used to have to rush back to school from work, (I got off at 11 pm) in order to get to the library before it closed at 11:30 pm to get the books I needed to complete my assignments.
It was either that or find out my 'friends' had forgotten to get the resource I needed.

The rest can be found here.
Books can be searched by Title, Author, Subject, Publisher....okay, it's a library...
It's better than a library, because it's online and nobody has to hurry to it after work. It's available 24/7.
Questia is offering a free subscription to a trial set of books in one of 4 selected subjects: Psychology, Ethics, Leadership, or Early American History.
Can't beat that with a stick, now can you?
Now, had I only been born a quarter of a century or so later.
