After poking around over at Saylor.org a bit, I found a WONDERFUL page! They have a little list of 83 completely free downloadable and/or readable online text books that you can use for completion of Saylor courses or any independent study for exams, Straighterline, etc. Completely open, no registration required and sharing is permitted!
Enjoy!

Wow. Was not expecting to find exam specific titles. Good find.

Ditto the "great find" compliment. I'm thinking of starting a gratitude journal for the new year. Cookderosa and all of her help will be, I'm sure, a repeat entry.

Best news is that they are planning to "clean them up" a bit and also put out versions for Kindle next month! I just hope Saylor comes out with more courses with NCCRS approval next year. 3 already approved and more a-comin'!

Yes Irish, that's what took me there, I was looking for updates. Now that I know I can re-apply to TESC for free, if I can get a few really cheap upper level sciences I might go back and pick up the natural science degree this summer!
