All you need is the small software package provided here. The link to the library with further informations can be found here.

"The concluding line of Herman Melville’s classic American short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener" reads: "Ah Bartleby, Ah Humanity!" And so, Bartleby.com—after the humble character of its namesake scrivener, or copyist—publishes the classics of literature, nonfiction, and reference free of charge for the home, classroom, and desktop of each and every Internet participant. Bartleby.com began as a personal research experiment in 1993 and within one year published the first classic book on the Web (Whitman’s Leaves of Grass). Since its incorporation in 1999 and the release of preeminent contemporary reference works, Bartleby.com becomes the most comprehensive reference publisher on the web, meeting the needs of students, educators, and the intellectually curious." And they really stand up to their self-description ... Items of special interest for the cultural anthropologist are for example a (shortened) 1922 edition of J. G. Frazer's The golden bough and Edward Sapir's An introduction to the study of speech. --zeph
