Donate

The ads on this site pay about a third of the cost of hosting it. Images can be big files!

This means I rely on donations.

I am not a professional bookseller. Just a private person. I used to collect books, years ago, and that's where most of the pictures and texts come from on this Web site. I do sometimes buy books for the images, but I don't have much budget.

The images are free at Web sizes; at larger sizes I still tend to give them away to barefoot people :-) or to non-profit organizations or for research.

You can help by donating money in USD with paypal; any amount over $5 helps, but much less than that means that the currency conversion and fees eat it all and you're really donating to a bank!

You can also send illustrated out-of-copyright books; if I can, I will pay postage. Please ask me about the books first because copyright varies from country to country: serving up books on the Web for other people to use means I have to respect that regardless of where I live.

Finally, some of the books I bought when I was younger, I have put up for sale. You can explore rare books for sale. The prices are wild guesses; don’t be afraid to offer less (or more). If you are in Canada, this is a personal sale, but if you prefer I can charge sales tax as I do have a tax number.

Thank you, and I hope you get some pleasure from visting From Old Books . Org.
