hmm…voluminous is a rather nice tool for reading books in the public domain. it’s a downloadable app for macs. i downloaded the free trial and already found 6 books that look entertaining:
- a history of art for beginners and students – painting, sculpture, architecture
- fifty soups
- how to make a shoe
- lippincott’s magazine, vol. 26, august 1880 – of popular literature and science
- the botanical magazine, vol. 8 – or, flower-garden displayed
- pleasing stories for good children with pictures
a nice feature of the program is the variety of style sheets, so that you can read the words in your font/style of choice. the default style is good enough but there is also ‘holidayreading’, ‘scifisaucer’, ‘autumn’, and two kinds of woodcut.
