FREE and LEGAL BOOKS (Including ILLUSTRATIONS) - DOWNLOAD FREE BOOKS for Commercial Use

Finding free and legal images to use for your graphic design project can be frustrating - sometimes you find a great picture or illustration but you don't know if you have the rights to use it. Here I cover a site called Project Gutenberg: Free eBooks. Project Gutenberg is a site that contains over 60,000 completely free and legal books. Many of these books contain pictures. These books are great for grabbing vintage illustrations, or also just reading the book! There are great public domain books like Pride & Prejudice, Dracula and A Tale of Two Cities.

"Public Domain" means that there are no known copyright restrictions on the work. This means that you are free to download, use, remix, edit and sell these images as part of your artwork or creative project.
