Books from PDF Drive

02/04/2018 5:31 AM

Dear CR4 Members,

About 20 months back, a member has asked for a Text Book of Engineering for reference of a particular data, as he could not get a particular detail while searching in google search system.

Plenty of suggestions came in and one member has referred about books in PDF Drive and he has given the link as www.pdfdrive.net under caption "Trending Free eBooks of the Week" and the mail will come from "PDF Drive" support@pdfdrive.net"

Indeed, it is an excellent link, providing books for all topics in every field, like Engineering, Medicine, Science .Ayurvedic Medicine, Spirutual subjects, Psychology, Aeronautics, History and many many topics.

But for the past 5 months, no mail is coming and even the link is not opening. It is not known why it is not opening.

I request CR4 members to inform, how I can get this book from PDF DRIVE.

Thanks.

Thank You Mr.phoenix911 for your immediate response.

I think it is legitimate one and I down-loaded many books in my related field of Engineering, where I am involved like Power, Transformers, Gas turbines, science books and it appears to me genuine and not pirated.

I just typed www.pdfdrive.net into my browser address field, and I was sent right to the site.

Try it again - they may have been down for repairs/upgrading/updating.

I would run a virus check on your computer....once you are on the site you can set a shortcut on your desktop by right clicking on the webpage....

The web page still opens here. Essentially it is a search engine which finds freely available PDF books on a variety of subjects.

On my computer, Drive is an application. Like if I found something, I could save it to, " Drive ".

I have found that you can use different words after PDF :

PDF FILE.

PDF WHITE PAPER.

PDF IMAGE.

PDF FORMAT.

try different word combinations, you would be surprised what you might find.

Thank you for asking this question, dhayanandhan! I'm glad to know about PDF Drive. When I visited the site one of the first titles I saw was "How to Win Every Argument." Quite a useful tome.
