You're welcome everyone - really enjoying all your reactions. However all thanks should go to the crew at archive.org and their contributors, especially the Canadian Libraries, who do a beautiful job.

Thanks Asoir, if you're into classic pen and ink work try these Sullivan, Edmund J. The Art Of Illustration. Sullivan, Edmund J. Line - an art study (warning: If you read the entire book you'll need to overlook the occasional use of words that would be considered racist today) Please report back more of your finds here!

Not gonna' happen. Well, you never know, as least as far as stuff exclusively hanging in the archive goes. People have tried to shut down archive.org before (mainly because of the wayback machine). And if the recent (thankfully thwarted!) attempt to sell out the contents of Smithsonian archive to Showtime (where it would be locked behind a paywall forever) is any indicator, absolutely nothing is sacred anymore. That said, the administrative direction of archive.org is ideologically strong enough to resist internal strife, as opposed to the Smithsonian institution, which had a pretty corrupt director.
