Really? What's extensive research?
Some of the books have been reprinted within the last few
years, including the Norbert Davis ones, and Cockfighter was
recently reprinted, as well, I believe. In fact, some of your
downloads feature artwork from relatively recent editions, so
I know you're aware of them.

Hey, I'm as cheap as the next guy, but if these aren't truly
in the public domain and were just scanned from the recent
reprints (which ARE copyrighted) it's stealing. And a sure
way to discourage any publisher from reprinting these
babies
