• [TOMT] [Book] 80's Kid's story collection, something like "The Holiday Ring"

• Links Galore: a spreadsheet of free and legal online links to old scholarly editions (and Loebs)

  The compiler and author of the spreadsheet is Diego Seguí alias "Hláford" https://blogger.com/profile/01570318115206193131 http://hurgapalabras.blogspot.com (it certainly isn't me!) It's a neatly organised list of lists but one with a sprawling scope. It lists scans of books that are out of copyright, but also books which are in copyright but can be read on the Internet Archive through the Archive's controlled... - Source: Reddit / about 1 month ago

• Does anyone here know a good place for finding ebook copies of old books?

  You can also sometimes find full books on wikimedia commons and, of course, google books, but that's often much more hit and miss. - Source: Reddit / about 2 months ago

• Help finding a picture of a specific animal, Zelotomys woosnami

  Took me a bit but if you search https://books.google.com/ with (any) species or just do a general google search with books.google at the end you usually get a preview of the book itself. So theres a drawing/diagram of Zelotomys woosnami in the book Smither's Mammals of Southern Africa: A Field Guide. I downloaded it (non-illegally...) using PDF Dr1ve or you can use an alternative like libg3n etc. - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• Top Booklearners claim to have literally read literally 1984

  He probably meant Google Books, the one that usually appears near top results when searching for any book but is actually completely useless (can't view the full book, can't buy the book). - Source: Reddit / 3 months ago

• [Grade 10, AP world] I need some words starting with y, that relate to the unification of Italy

  If you have a textbook, go to the index, find y, and look for words starting with y that relate to the unification of Italy. If not, go to https://books.google.com/, search for some books about the unification of Italy (preferably in the public domain), go to the index, find y, and look for words starting with y that relate to the unification of Italy. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

• Japan clothing history

  You can also get previews of books at books.google.com and look for books published by University presses. They're going to be dense, but they're acceptable sources (rather than the random internet). Here's a good one on modern clothing: Japanese Fashion: A Cultural History Toby Slade · 2009. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

• Better way to utilize Google Search?

  One thing I've found helpful (especially if you need to cite sources!) is searching https://books.google.com/ . Search the topic, click on a book, then there's a "search inside" option for many of the books in the library. - Source: Reddit / 4 months ago

• How do you write an essay on something you know nothing about it?

  Then, go to https://scholar.google.com/ a find two or three popular, relevant papers on the topic. Results you can reference based on their abstract. Look up their author on search engine, see if they have a book on https://books.google.com/ you can pull quotes from. Revise your outline based on any game-changing findings. - Source: Reddit / 5 months ago

• Elders don't like talking to me about the Bible, anyone with a similar experience?

  I used books.google.com to look up the citations and you will never guess what I found. Not only were the citations falsely represented, the books thoroughly contradicted the conclusions drawn be the JWs. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• geometry used on 100 year old beam

  Oh my gosh...If you saw my "reading list" it would literally give you a nosebleed...LOL...I had a very "tech savvy" apprentice once who that estimated if you just started going through and reading my "bookmarks" on my computer and saved research, books, and documents that it would take him at least 10 years to get through it all...I still average, to this day, 2 to 4 hours of reading and correspondence a day...7... - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• Records Pre-1800?

  It is really hard! Mostly because there weren't a lot of records. I would check books.google.com and also the catalogue in FamilySearch. If you go to search > catalogue, you can type in the location your ancestors lived and go through their un-indexed records. It's tedious, but often worth it. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago

• Nonfiction books describing Late Stage/End Stage capitalism

  Sounds like a pretty long and tedious reading. Are you up for it though? Try https://books.google.com/ or goodreads.com for an in depth recommendation. Some of the reviewers leave great summaries of complex topics. It might help you. - Source: Reddit / 6 months ago
