Some electronic books (in pdf) I've collected:

Note: The imposed versions of these pdfs have their pages arranged so that once the book is printed out duplex (double sided) the pages can be folded or cut in half, and then bound into a real book. If you just want to read the book online, or make an 8.5 by 11 inch version of the book, then use the screen version.
