Our Resources
Some of the illustrations, text, and audios come from personal libraries. For others, we access the following web sites:
Gutenberg.org
LibraVox.org
If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads
(Ralph W. Emerson).
Thank you for your interest in IBO, a project in development.
Our Vision
Welcome to Illustrated Books Online where reading can be both a visual and an auditory activity. Most selections will have full texts with illustrations and audio files so that you may choose to listen as the text is read. The Ancient Mariner is close to completion. Other selections will be comparable in structure. The exception is Moby Dick, which is a study guide for first time readers of the novel.
About Public Domain Works
All texts, illustrations, and audios are in the public domain. We neither intend nor desire to infringe on copyrights. If you have valid documentation that shows text, images, audios, or videos on our web site are not in the public domain and are not properly attributed, please contact Patricia@tbmdata.com. State specifically the item in question, the url address, and attach your documentation with pertinent explanation.
Future Selections
If you have a request for future books or if you have designed an illustrated ebook from public domain material, please let us know. We are preparing a section where you may upload your own public domain, illustrated book online. The requirement is that all of the texts, illustrations, audios, and videos are in the public domain. You will be asked to document your sources, and all submissions will be previewed before offered for public viewing.
