Directory
Educational and academic books gathers textbooks, course readers, and digitised collections for study. Listings include open textbook libraries, university repositories, government archives, and classic texts in translation. What sets them apart is access and reuse, since some are free to read and adapt, others are limited to a library or an institution, and a few cover one subject in depth. Compare the editions on offer, whether a text is peer reviewed, and how the source handles copyright. These collections support study and research, and they are not a shortcut around a publisher's rights.
