Newton Books: UNNA, AMUG and Planet Newton come to mind. Besides these,
there is no operating and complete Newton Library at the moment that I'm
aware of.
etexts: search for the authors name and .txt, or for author and "etext",
and you might find an etext somewhere. - Other starting points are Project
Gutenberg and esp. Project Gutenberg of Australia, where copyright lasts
only 50 years (instead of 70 as is standard in USA, Canada and Europe,
IIRC), so there are more current works there (talking about being ahead of
the curve). Also there are plenty of other etext-sites around.
DJV.
P.S.: Below find some of my stuff. Find it at UNNA or get it from me ASAP
(stuff marked NEW! not yet published by UNNA's godfather Don Vico).
