Many, many places on the net. Here are a few.
Try looking on esnips for many contemporary books, the best way to do
that I've found is to do a google search, for example "mitchener"+"esnips".
Esnips has taken to being rather crafty of late, now you sort of have to
get started by a 'back door procedure', so do a search on google, then
when you get a hit on esnips go to it and then use the "tags" listed in
the side bar menu, such as E-Books, to find the books, otherwise esnips
will say nothing matches if you try a direct search. But there are tons
of books there if you do a little digging...many are listed innumerable
times so you have to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Bittorrent sites have some harder to find and newer books, but you have
to download a bittorrent program first, no big deal.Then find the
bittorrent sites with a google search and do a search on them by title
or author.
Below are some sites I use.
