selling rights to Classical wealth books

[smak]

Hi

I am looking for some old calssics wealth books that are now copyright free that I can use to sell or offer as bonus.

'Think & Grow rich' comes to mind and I think there are guys online selling or giving it away for list building.

Do you know where I can get this book and similar wealth books that I can use either to resell or giveaway as bonus to some other product.

If you have any info, much appreciated if u can direct me to the right place.

Google "free books" and you will find them

Here are some sites that you can use to search for what your looking for......
ManyBooks.net - Free eBooks for your PDA, iPhone, or eBook Reader
Authorama - Public Domain Books
The Online Books Page: Search

You can also find Think and Grow Rich and The Law of Success here.....
Napoleon Hill (Hill, Napoleon, 1883-1970) | The Online Books Page

Hope that helps.

Hi John

I managed to locate the Science of getting rich but nit the other one you mentioned.

Do yiu know where it can be downloaded from? As you stated, both of them are in public domain So I presuem its fine by me to be using them as add on bonuses to the main product offering (I have seen few other Marketers giving these away).

Its just that my own product is to do with wealth mindset so these 2 products would be perfect fit.

Much appreciated and thanks.

I may have been looking at a botched bibliography that listed them as separate books. It appears that the latter title may merely be a subtitle of the first.

Is 'Think and Grow rich' public domain as well now.

And there is another one that comes to mind with the title something like 'Master key to Riches' probably by Nopoleon Hill again.

And does Public domain mean it bis fine to use them as eboon bonuses for main product offer.

The 1st edition published in 1937 of Think and Grow Rich is in the public domain as the copyright on that version was never renewed.

You are correct, Master Key to Riches was written by Hill.

Public Domain means that you can do pretty much whatever you want to with the content.

John, "Financial Success ..." was the original title of The Science of Getting Rich and does sometimes appear as a subtitle. I don't know if was the author or the original publisher who changed the title to the spicier one, but it sure kicked it up a notch. I don't think I'd have been enticed to read the book under the original title -- and I would have missed out on a life-changing experience.

One tip, smak: If you're going to use a public domain book, make sure you actually get the public domain version. So many of these old prosperity books are floating around in many versions now that they're popular. Most of the latter-day publishers (including me) have done some work on the books (just light editing often) that makes them "derivative works" and NOT in the public domain in that form. You can't use those without permission. (Oh, and btw, you can't just lift other people's headlines, copy, or their artwork for the books they're publishing either. It's surprising how often I see that, and I think it's just a lack of knowledge mostly.)

A fellow here on the forum offered a WSO a while back for a public domain how-to and huge archive of resources. I got it and thought it was fabulous. Don't know if it's still available, but you might search for his name: Kneb Kneibah. (Hope it's ok to mention that here; I'm not an affiliate or anything.)

Kneb's eBook is MASSIVE and EXCELLENT! He's getting ready to release an update some day real soon now.

There's a search feature in the forum that works pretty well now.

Rebecca is correct. I actually found many places where the title is one of the same (see below at Abebooks for example).

In addition, yes, you need to be sure that the version you are using is in fact in the public domain.

P.S. How uncanny is this? Well, out of curiosity, I downloaded the free Science of Getting Rich book to do some further research. Well, lo and behold, this is Rebecca's rendition of the Science of Getting Rich.

Here's her foreword from the book:

Yes! The public domain arena is a field of gold. However, you just need to make sure that you don't step on any of those land mines.

[Lance K]

Rather than listening to what people THINK is public domain and what you can do with it, why not start by researching copyright law...

Bundle it all together and put a price on it. Explain to people why they need this stuff and how it can change their life.

Again, you can make good money doing it.

Hi Smak,

Are you certain that it's the Original version? I have a feeling you have a copyrighted (newly written edition).

Anyway, just in case, here's where you can get the raw data (the Original version) where you can edit it and turn it into an ebook.

Just copy and paste the text into a word document, make your changes (if you would like to, as then you now own the copyright to this version -- how cool is that?) format it and then save it to PDF. That's it!

I would suggest you using the the same layout as others have, such as using chapters. Just take a look and see how others put their ebook together.

I hope you find this useful. Here's the link:

Here's the source where I got the free Science of Getting Rich data. In addition, this link also provides you with several more FREE self-help books to choose from:
