A new site launched this week, offering out-of-print Irish books as free downloads under a Creative Commons licence.
The Irish Literary Revival site has novels and poems, but is interested in hearing from any writer who might have a published out-of-print work that they’d like to see re-enter the world. They even accept non-fiction books.
I think this is a good idea, but would like the site design improved to make it easier to browse the books from the front page. Philip Casey, whose blog is Slimming for the Beach, and Patrick Chapman are the ‘founding librarians’.
