Free to read on line OLD ARCHERY BOOKS
« on: December 21, 2010, 12:15:00 PM »
I had posted this over on the POW WOW forum. There are about 220 old archery books located below. They are public domain due to there age. Like
The witchery of archery
Maurice Thompson
 Archery, its theory and practice
Horace A. Ford - 185


They are available to you FREE, how pray tell. Simple, go to Google. On there header you will find MORE, click it. You will find books, click it. You will have a search, or (New! Shop at the Google eBookstore), click on it.
Up on top you will find a search box, type Archery hit the go button.
Results will be shown, on the left side up towards the top you have a FREE choice. Click it

Your world of free domain old archery books are yours to read.

Happy holidays Hormoan

While this is a off site post. Hopefully it will be recognized as not a threat. And left for all to enjoy and learn from.

Check out the Archery Library online, I think they are free and there are books for as far back as the 13th century on there

i don't see the "FREE" choice after putting archery into a books search.
You say it is in the upper left?

Limit it to full view only should have the desired effect:

From the link above (William F. Adams post), I think that you just have to click on the book you want to read.  There is no "Free" button to click.  They are free to read online.

Where Google makes their money is in selling you the Google ebooks service that lets you access your reading list from any internet device, anywhere you have a internet link.  But you can read the public domain books right on the Google website.

I see. I was hoping to browse the books and see which were free wihout clicking.
On my iPhone, the mobile version of google books does offer a "FREE" choice.
Thanks for the help.
