    I know its a long shot and a bit of topic but I know that this group has a lot of amazing people with amazing knowledge. So, I thought to reach out and see if any of you might know and share some places where I can get some pdf textbooks that required for college without me spending a fortune. There used to be few places but I can not remember any now.
    Would really, really appreciate the help.

    Honestly - most material can be obtained (specific to general books / magazines) through other sites - I had much material going back to Demonoid days (it was a great sharing site) and even some from Usenet Groups (talk about slooooooow) and personal self-bought material. When I joined here most of the book material was being posted by the handful of the now-present [and some no longer present] Moderators - so thanks should aptly go to them.

    Once one has locked down on the fundamental technical basics of camera (or video) use - the REAL magic happens with the connection you're hopefully able to make with the client / subject. So probably some degree of psychology is worth one's effort as well as gentle guidance with attention to detail (it really is all about the details) - which makes a shoot go from mediocre to stellar. And once ya got the shot, you'll know it - - - then everything thereafter is just for fun . . . :cool::):)

    I would ideally love to see classic monographs by most of the greats presented as PDFs or ePUBs. I was thinking about doing this with certain titles using a 60mm lens for reproduction and .jpeg capture with optimized lighting. Then collate and assemble in Acrobat. Maybe one title per month or so . . . versus scanning.

    -______________
    -

    But back on point:
    "Z Library" is considered a traditional site for College-level textbooks (and I'm sure there are a few others) - but I'm not sure if the US sort of bans them because of copyright considerations. Other countries have access to the site. Use a VPN and Tor browser for access; establish an account and even donate to the site - it's worth the price of admission compared to the cost of a single textbook (crazy expensive).

    However - I still know peeps that want or NEED the book - luv the tactile "feel" of the heft-in-the-hand(s) - I'm one of 'em ;):)

    If you've not yet received a reply - I'll be sending you a PM with a link to both titles as listed . . . I'm not in the habit of providing stuff - but this merely shows as an example of the availability to obtain such needs if one does their homework (the info is out there); plus you've posted great stuff that I've used (and probably will use in the future). No thanks is required - I thank you for your past and future shares @whiterose1991 ;):):)
