Anyone want a FREE copy of Sinclair Lewis' "It Can't Happen Here"?
Here's the deal: I have on my computer, as we speak, a QuarkXPress page layout file that I made of the entire text of Sinclair Lewis' 1935 classic "It Can't Happen Here." (This is one of George W. Bush's favorite books--it simply must be, he's doing everything in it.) Tonight I will generate a PDF from this file and it will be a nice e-book. I don't know how large the PDF will be, but I'm using Acrobat Distiller 5, it's straight text and it should distill down fairly small. It should be e-mailable, anyway.

If YOU want a copy of this important work, send an email to me at [email protected] and I will send it right out as soon as it's done--before the end of the weekend, anyway.

Everyone here needs to read this, so send in your request right away!

5. But mine is much prettier!
The problem with the Gutenberg Project file is that it's plain text, and in Courier. This is nicely formatted and ready for printing, browsing or forwarding to Republicans.

6. Dunno. The site itself seems pretty iffy
Found the link in a Wikipedia entry (along with the Australian Project Gutenberg one already cited.)

9. Here's a site with entire books
www.fullbooks.com

I don't see this title there, but it's a good resource. I found volumes 2 and 10 of the Hay and Nicolay biography of Lincoln there.
