Project Gutenberg is the first place that ever offered free ebooks.
The goal of the project was to take classic works who's copyrights had expired and reproduce them in a format which was accessible to the general population.
This innovative idea got its name from Gutenberg who developed the printing press and movable type. Before that point works were hand written and therefore not available to the masses.
I am attaching several pages from a book called Handicraft for Boys by A.Frederick Collins, inventor of the wireless telephone. Copyright 1918.
I love the prices of the saws and the wood. I hope you find the pages entertaining and informative. More books like this are available from Project Gutenberg
