If you like to read alot of books but dont want to clutter up your room/house with them and want to save tons of bucks here is a great place to find any kind of book online you can imagine:

http://www.questia.com

I joined (you can try it out for free for 7 days) and boy oh boy it is going to save me tons of bucks on spending.

It has more categories than Magweb (which also is great) and has a full featured search engine.

Try it out! [:)]

At $100.00 dollars per YEAR, you have to do a lot of research.[:0]
Of course, it might be cheaper, in the long run.[;)]

I spend a lot more than $100.00 a year on research materials, so this is certainly worth checking in to...

Hi Bill

This looks interesting. When you access the books / articles, is it possible to download them for future reference or do you need to read them on-line?

I assume that the entire work is accessible - do you know if that is correct?

Just trying to understand it before beating up on my credit card again [:0]

Thanks

Mark

The entire work is there. To copy it from the web - not easy. You would have to copy each individual page and all of the graphics for any particular book. Thus no PDF file to download.

However, I note that it really is handy when you need an OB from a book. I use screenshots rather than text copying which doesnt come out formatted correctly. Pics could be saved as their own file.

You can look over portions of any book they have to get an idea of what you will see. You just wont get the entire page of any given page in a book. Once you subscribe you get to see the entire page.
