Before the rise of the public library access to large
collections of books was the privilege of a wealthy minority.
Now, with the help of their
library partners,
Google Books
Search is able to offer the
ability to download and read PDF versions of out-of-copyright
books from some of the world’s greatest collections.
The
books on this particular list deal primarily with Cuba and/or
Cuban topics. Our heartfelt thanks to Benjamin Fernandez who
shared his many findings with us, as well as many others who
have contributed to this list. This is a work in
progress and we will continue to add titles as they are found.
Clicking on the title of the book will connect you to the Google
Book page with the corresponding downloadable book in PDF format.
Once you are on the page, you will see a link on the right that
states "Download". It will also tell you the size of the file
(i.e. 7.7 M). Click on the word "Download" to save the book (in
PDF format) on your computer. (You may also just view the book
online if that is your preference.)
Please
email us
here
if you would like to recommend an
out-of-copyright
digitized book or if you find
any broken links to any of the digitized books on this list.
