Gwern has a tutorial like this, which you can find here<\/a>. This is just a redundant guide so more will see it.<\/em><\/p>\n

So you want some ebook and you don’t want to pay $$$? There are some options, in order of what to try first.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Library Genesis (LibGen)<\/li>\n
  2. Internet Archive<\/li>\n
  3. Google it<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Library Genesis (LibGen)<\/h2>\n

    I already have a guide how to use this site in detail here<\/a>. TL;DR, go to the URL that works for you e.g., http:\/\/93.174.95.27\/<\/a> or http:\/\/libgen.rs\/<\/a>. They change them once in a while due to legal attacks.<\/p>\n

    Internet Archive<\/h2>\n

    It has a terrible search engine here<\/a>, so it is generally better to use Google’s advanced search, like this:<\/p>\n

    site:archive.org history pioneer fund lynn<\/a><\/pre>\n
    Which gives:<\/p>\n
    \"\"<\/p>\n
    The first result is the book of interest. Sometimes, they are protected, and you have to burrow them:<\/p>\n
    \"\"<\/p>\n
    Use the jailbreak steps in Gwern’s guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n
    Google it<\/h2>\n
    If the above fails, you can sometimes get lucky that Google can find you a copy. Most of the time, you will be disappointed and get various book reviews and scam attempts. It’s the same approach as above, except search for filetype:<\/p>\n
    filetype:pdf OR filetype:epub history pioneer fund lynn<\/a><\/p>\n
    This gave me:<\/p>\n
    \"\"<\/p>\n
    These are all book reviews or related works, which may be of interest, but weren’t the book we were looking for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
