Documents in a variety of formats are made available here as a free public service. Click the bracketed links below to download files. Items in this collection are tagged as non-fiction, fiction, poetry, or drama, although some works defy exact categorization or may be alternatively categorized. Other categories include biography, anthologies, and letters. (The term Para-fiction is used for obviously fictional works published as non-fiction.) Most of the PDF files listed here are made from cover-to-cover scans of original print publications. A few are re-formatted from OCR texts (these are tagged as ebooks). Spiritual texts and periodicals are in separate collections. If you have documents to share or suggestions of works we should include, please contact us.
