This is the Australian branch of the Gutenberg Project, which owing to the differences between Australian and American copyright laws has a different selection of books to download. But still all free, of course.
To my enormous pleasure I found the collected works of Thorne Smith and George Orwell here, both in their very different ways, authors I am extremely fond of, and that was only the start!
D.H. Lawrence, anyone?

As with the main Gutenberg site, one can help the Good Work along by joining them as a proof reader (details about this on the website), which I am planning to start doing quite soon, as I feel strongly that such projects should be supported by the reading public who make grateful use of their work.
As with the parent site, this is a treasure trove of wonderful books, and one from which I happily download books by authors I have never heard of, quite a surprising number of which turn out to be really enjoyable to read.
Well worth a visit........

If anyone of you has wandered happily around in this superb website, and have found any jewels among the books on offer and would care to share this, and their thoughts on the books they have found, I would be extremely pleased if they would share this with the rest of us by means of the Comments section here.
