*whispers - well, it IS a library

Hi DF, everybody. 
Here are some interesting bits and bobs about King Arthur, since I notice this fine library has a relevant section.
(and yes, this is blatant self-promotion )

It's not quite finished yet, but will be as soon as I can manage it.

I think it most strange that an online library does not have a link to project gutenburg, where you can download literally hundreds of FREE books.

It's alright mother, most of the free books on gutenburg are "classics", like the art of war, dracula, erb's martian tales of john carter, the bible, the american constitution, etc. of flip, why not just pop over ther and have a look at the index and see what I mean. Usually, they are old enough to be out of copyright.
having said that, there are new-ish online books available out there, like drexler's "engines of creation" over at [URL removed by moderator] dealing with nanotechnology, and opensources from [URL removed by moderator] (where there are other online books available, free)
you only need to look on the net to find what is available free, but you might have to search a bit.
