I’ve downloaded about 10 books. Search for the item your looking for e.g. handplane, wood, chisel then select “full view” in the blue banner at the top of the search results. This will show public domain books. There are lots of turn of the century woodworking book available.

-- Carpe Lignum; Tornare Lignum (Seize the wood, to Turn the wood)

Thanks for the link Ethan. It looks like a great book. Interesting to see how things were done almost 100 years ago.

Maybe you should start a forum just for eBooks? I am sure you, Wayne, and others have some links to some great books. I for one would like to see more of these too.

There are lots of good books out there. I also shop used books on Amazon.com for some of the old woodworking books.
