Dear All,

Many times we post websites (links) for people who need information about things, what about starting this thread devoted entirely to keeping them all together for easy reference.

Post any sites you wish to, with brief explanation if needed of what they contain. Also if you post a site (link) in another thread, repost it here, if you have time, as not everyone reads all the posts.

I also think that out of respect for the owner of this board, we should not use this to spam with other message board sites, (in my humble opinion)

Laura

Hi all,
Just wanted to post this website which enables you to download zipped folders of books on Egypt for FREE! http://www.aldokkan.com/ebooks/ebooks.htm
Books available to download in zip form. One of My favourites is The Spell of Egypt by Robert Smythe Hichens 1864-1950 which is great if your say are on a Nile Cruise, visiting the Temples.(or have already been).Describes poetically, the ambience of each of the Temples.....and other sites too....
