Why are these great books free?
Well, the short answer to why we have readily available access to these free self improvement books (as well as books from many other genres) is because their copyrights have expired. Classic books like Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill are just as useful today, but they are old so we can get them for free! Hooray!
