was curious if anyone might know of a e-book sight with any of the Gorean books, I know I have had some of them passed to me in game, but at work I cant access SL, so I was curious if there was a website or a download maybe so I could read some at work,

Thanks

Matt

I am sorry Matt but due to Normans copyright restrictions you won't get those E-Books without paying as far as I know. You can find some in google books but only as a shortened preview.

well I haven't heart about such a way either. As far as I know you could only buy the e-book version f.e.

Very true, I'd be more ashamed to get busted over illegally downloading literature of that "quality", than I am to admit paying to download the stuff.

i really really really shouldn't say this where the general public can see it.... i have PDF copies of 27 of the books.

These are not the flawed copies you will find inworld where whole setions are missing and words are garbled. These are perfect books.

There is a warning that they are not supposed to be copied or transferred, but guess what? They can be.

i love John Nornman and would not want to steal from Him by distributing His exciting books all over the world. But maybe you know a close personal friend who has the books. Friends share & swap, don't they?

There are several places to buy the novels in e-book form. Here's a link to John Norman's publisher's site, where it will give you an option to purchase through amazon and a few other sources:

The Chief Scribe is absolutely correct to bring up the issue of copyright violation. Here's what John Norman's own publishers have to say about it:

There are places you can get them for free, but it really boils down to one simple thing that Goreans hold dear--honor.

At least some of the books are available on amazon.com as Audiobooks, MP3 Audio, and Audio CDs.  This site will take you directly to the first one, and has links to amazon's 'John Norman' page.
