Digital Publications

In recent years the Internet has brought about an evolution in publishing formats. eBooks are everywhere. Full texts of public domain works are available from multiple sites - Bartleby.com http://www.bartleby.com/, Google Book Search http://books.google.com/,and Project Gutenburg http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page for example. If you are not seeking signed, first edition, first printing books, downloading free books is a quick and easy way to build your Arthurian collection. For those titles still under copyright, there are a number of sites where eBooks may be downloaded and purchased for less than print copies. You may want to visit Adobe’s eBookmall http://www.adobe.com/epaper/ebooks/ebookmall/ to begin your search of eBook sites.

In addition to standard eBook publishers, there are now multiple sites where authors and poets post their own writing. It takes a lot of web browsing to uncover these student projects, self-publishing sites, and personal websites. My husband collects these writings because they represent popular culture and the evolution of the legend. Initially he printed out each writing but now that the titles number in the hundreds we will store the works as electronic files. If you want to add eBooks and files to your collection there are a few things you want to consider:

1. Unless otherwise stated, the writings are protected by copyright law.
2. The works are fleeting, transient publications. What you find one day may disappear or change addresses the next. 3. These stories, poems and cartoons are often written by amateurs so the quality of writing is mixed.
