NoPlaceLikeHome Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 I am wondering if anyone has any good finds from Google books that can be useful for homeschooling. I have seen many that I find interesting such as McGuffey Revised reader's, etc. Any recommendations would be appreciated:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizzyBee Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I do searches using words like Rhetoric, Composition, Arithmetic, etc. and I've found 100's of textbooks. Many of the Ray's Arithmetic books are available. If you like the selections from http://www.mainlesson.com, many of them are available in .pdf format at google books.

Hannah Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Can I just say how jealous I am of those of you that can do downloads from Google books - its not available outside of the USA!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hathersage Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 (edited) Can I just say how jealous I am of those of you that can do downloads from Google books - its not available outside of the USA!!! You can find quite a lot of the same books on the internet archive. By searching at http://www.archive.org. Click on the "All Files: HTTP" link which gives you direct access to the PDF file (clicking on the "PDF on Google.com" link just gives you the same info page as going directly into Google Books.)
