Welcome to bookcove.net
The purpose of this site is to support the production, hosting, and discussion of modern electronic texts produced as books as they were read by young adults of long ago. Reading "juvies," as they are called in the ebook-production business, was an important part of growing up back when children used books as their window to the world—well before television and the Internet. Books on this site are from earlier, public domain eras, from 1930 and earlier.
The site is organized based on activities: in the Library users can check out books, read and write book reviews and search the catalog. In the Factory, users can help produce more texts for this site working from the original scans. In the Forums users can participate in discussion topics relating to this site, about book production in general, or related topics.
Visitors to the site do not need to register to browse the site and check out etexts. Registered users can participate more fully: writing reviews, participating in the forum, and helping produce the texts in the factory.
News from the Library
Exciting news! Our bookshelves are no longer empty. The catalog has had many entries for demonstration purposes but now there are four real books available for download. They are the four "Betty Lee" series books, following Betty through her four years of high school. Any site visitor can download and read this lively story. Write a review and it will be added to the site.
News from the Factory
The PPF has been cleared as both active projects (Betty Lee Jr. and Sr.) are now posted. PPF will be reloaded with new texts soon. I'll let you know.
