For any student, getting access to textbooks on dozens of subjects can be an expensive affair. It is also not practical to purchase entire textbooks just to access a small part of it for references. That’s where online open textbook sources and other online libraries and vendors come into play. By offering textbooks on a variety of subjects for free or for a heavily discounted price, they are a boon for students. Below is a collection of such similar sites to access textbooks online.
