Textbook Revolution will be collaborating with freetechbooks.com to bring you even more free books! Since 2002, freetechbooks.com has catalogued free, legal computer and technical books from around the web, much like TBR does for college textbooks. This collaboration will allow each of the two sites to focus on their specialties. Reciprocal links will direct site visitors to the appropriate sections of the other sites, and computer books submitted to TBR will be directed to freetechbooks.com for inclusion on that list. Eventually, we hope to move all computer/tech content at TBR over to FTB. So don’t wait—go check out freetechbooks.com!
