Curated catalogue of open textbooks with faculty reviews, useful for checking a book's quality before you rely on it.
Before you rely on itBooks are hosted by their publishers rather than here, so available formats and download options vary from title to title.
The reviews are written by academics who teach the course, which is the quickest honest signal of whether a free book is good enough.Community pick
