Free online Books anywhere? - Where can I find free Biology text books? (Jul/15/2008 )

hello,

I needed a few biology text books to prepare for a test.

I cannot afford to buy all of them.

Is there any webbased tool where I can find the genetics book (Griffiths)?

And Molecular Biology book (Watson)?

Or any other web resource for free biology book?

thanks,
Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse, do you know how to use a bit torrent? i.e. www.mininova.org

Dangerous....

Yes doc_t I know about it. But I thought it is only for Music and Movies.

Can one also download BOOKS from it??
If so, first these books need to be in a PdF format on some one's computer-is that right?

Thanks for all the information you are giving,
MM

On-Line Biology Book

For (very) old books: http://www.biolib.de/

Although most are in German, you can find scans of the works of Darwin, Linne, Haeckel etc; but also some newer ones!
