WHAT'S NEW!

NEW WEB SITE CREATED BY KELLSCRAFT STUDIO:

   A new resource guide and personal adventure for living as best as possible from local sources in Maine.  Living in Maine?  Why buy potatoes at the grocery store from Idaho?  Why buy apples at the chain supermarket from Washington? Site includes a list of fairs, farmers' markets, farmstands, orchards, farms and a lot more! Check us out!

NEW BLOG AT
KELLSCRAFT STUDIO:
 
   I'll be blogging from time to time about this site and getting feedback and advice from you the reader:


Welcome

      In the best tradition of the Internet, we at Kellscraft Studio are proud to bring to you hard to find, previously printed books now in the public domain.  Our focus is on public domain books (anything published prior to 1923 in the U.S.), and we concentrate on books known for their wonderful illustrations and philosophy of life.  Some books at our site will have no illustrations, but are available here for their writing and importance.  All books published here are in the public domain and out of copyright, so are available to everyone to read, print and use in classroom settings.

        If you have questions regarding the web site, or any book listed here, feel free to contact me, Jeff Kelley, at:


(Click Image to email me...)


PLEASE DONATE!
     All the books you see at this site take a lot of work to scan, process and convert to free on-line books.  All of this work is done on a volunteer basis and maintaining the site is labor of love, yet still costs money.  We hope you enjoy the free books, and any donation you can send let's us know you appreciate the work we give away to the world.  Any amount will help us keep the site alive and growing.  Thanks for your help!
