Links to foreign language collections, sheer size. A veritable grab bag of over 10,000 titles, this repository points readers to everything from Charles Babbage to the Zapatista National Liberation Army by way of Chekhov, Macaulay and Zola. The quality of texts is uneven, as they come from a variety of resources, not all of which claim to be standard editions, or even single editions. Readers looking at texts that offer no edition information should use these for background information or pleasure reading. The Internet is not the world's largest library, but the Internet Public Library does a good job of organizing over 10,000 electronic texts of all varieties into the online equivalent of a library.
