I've just discovered that an Australian Uni provides free online/downloadable access to some classics like Orwell or Bram Stoker, so I thought I'd try and compile other free online book resources.

Hello! First post!
Can't believe no one's yet mentioned the Google Print Search. This offers thousands of books in a scanned-in format, you can read page by page (including illustrations). Very
useful.
