Welcome to your new home for books and book accessories.

>What is this place?
A place of learning, sharing and discussing books, essays and manuscripts. Its main purpose is to give anons a way to cooperate in the pursuit of knowledge, especially as far as it concerns practical matters via digital books.
>What can I post here?
This board allows all kinds of material that can be read, be it books, magazines and comics. Veering off-topic is allowed, as long as it doesn't constitute a hurdle for anons who just want to discuss about a certain resource.
You can choose to upload books either through dropping files in the allotted box, or, as for external links and more sensitive material, using an Encoded Link. There are plenty of ways to do so, so just pick whichever you want.
>I'm writing/translating a book/story/visual novel, can I discuss here?
Certainly so. Discussions about tools and web resources are also welcome.
>What about requesting a book?
Requests go into the cyclical Request Thread, unless a thread is created to discuss a particular genre, in which case it's alright to ask for some resources over there as well.

A small note: while censorship in all its forms is frowned upon, any material that may compromise the existence of the board, and of the IB as a whole, will be deleted, and its poster banned. Besides, everyone already knows where to get those.

Looking for something in particular? Ask away!

Anyone have any pdfs from the old days (before 1980) that mentions a link between homosexuality and pedophilia, or homosexuals being raised by single moms/ no men in their upbringing? Like those old un pc books that would have been banned for being "misinformed", "a total lie" or "anti-homophobic"? Almost every book now is pro gays but at one point in time there had to have been books against it.

I am looking for a copy of the banned book material written by Philip Luty called "Expedient Homemade Firearms". Does anyone know how I could obtain an legitimate copy of the material for my own self-knowledge?

I was planning on making a small, clearnet IB containing several Self Improvement boards, including this one. How interested would you be in moving there?

Don't mind me anon, just need a place to dump images of maids on skateboards.

Explosives, homemade guns, etc. Stuff that is good to know just in case.

I'll just leave this here. PubMed doesn't have fulltext. TL;DR: "Covid-19 diagnostic tests may be less accurate in asymptomatic or low-risk populations and in persons who shed little virus or are early or late in the course of illness. Even if a test were 98% sensitive and 99% specific, it would still produce a false negative result in 2 of every 100 people infected. If we test 5 million Americans daily and only 1% of them have Covid-19, a total of 1000 positive cases will be missed, which increases the risk of spread, and another 49,500 people will receive false positive results." doi.org/10.1056/NEJMp2023830
