    fortunateson I hate Illinois Nazis!

    A bunch of interesting books in pdf for FREE

    http://thedisease.net/?ejaculate=library
    You might need a .rar extractor for some.

    BTW, many field manuals can be found in pdf format for free download if you google the manual number. For example google "TM 31-210 pdf"

    Here's a few of the books listed on the Librum site (will be adding more as I find them) and some other interesting stuff related to them. Thus far they're mostly on Archive.org, so they should be up for a while. The "More..." links lead to the books' pages on Archive.org, where you can download the books in other formats.
