I like surfing in the public domain to find any great thing worth using and archiving.

Do you know of anything that is in the public domain and is very valuable or worth archiving?

+1 they're doing a good job, as well as for @[email protected] suggestion (even though Gutenberg don't focus as much on ebook layout ;)

If anyone is interested reading in French:
En français pour quiconque serait intéressé:

If all of those links (also the two French ones I just mentioned) are 100% legit, unlike brick and mortar public libraries they offer little in guise of advice. If you have never tried talking with a librarian to get tailored reading suggestions, give it a shot. You may be surprised how useful they are. Also, they very rarely bite... only after they have been transformed into a vampire, or a werewolf.

(nope, I am no librarian but, yep, I may bite... in certain situations I won't publicly disclose :p)
