Awesome find .....

One hell of a extra reference library, look at the dated publications making it great for cross referencing details

Very cool but unfortunately most of the links don't work and those that do take a frustratingly long time to download as they are held by ridiculous sites. Shame there is not a list of all files with links to the original source. Still, found a couple of good ones...!

Same issue .. but an interesting dig .

Mostly they're at archive.org - easiest way is to find them is to select the two lines of the simhq message that contain the title and author of the book you're looking for then throw that at google and go to the archive.org result, or you can go to www.archive.org and search for the title - but it's much easier to go *drag* *right-click* *click* *click*

Better off buying what and put it on your shelf .. It dose prove not everything is available via the internet ... so believe what is furniture to many may still be sitting on shelves years to come .
