These are digital copies of hunting books that were preserved for generations on library shelves before they were carefully scanned as part of a project to make the world’s books discoverable online. (By companies like IBM, Microsoft, Google, Gutenberg ..etc…)
They have survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the books to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that’s often diffcult to discover. The history of the working terrier can be traced back to this period and these books give us a glimpse of how it all started.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in these titles – a reminder of this book’s long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.
