  • Might you be interested in viewing or even downloading marvelosuly illustrated antique children's books for free?


    The Rosetta Project has made available an abundance of beautifully illustrated, often rare or currently unavailable, children's books from the 19th and early 20th centuries for your perusal.


    I just downloaded the "Beautiful Book of Nursery Rhymes" and am having a daffy-swell time using my browser to bop through it.


    ooo ooo here are the directions:


    1. Select book from library Page
    2. Select download entire book button on individual book's index page.
    3. After download is complete, and the zip file has decompressed, select "open file" from your web-browser.
    4. Browse to the folder of the book you just downloaded, open that folder and select the file: "index.htm" to take your browser to the html index page of that book.
    5. After reaching the book's index page, browse the book, which is now saved to your hard drive, just as you normally would on-line.


    Okay...okay...so I'm just a little boy at heart. 


    *poof*


    ...the Dead-Tree Faerie just turned the Bogeyman into pumpkin pie.
