Table Of ContentЭлектронная библиотека “Либрус” ( http://librus.ru )
Научно-техническая библиотека электронных книг. Первоначально задуманная
как хранилище компьютерной литературы, в настоящий момент библиотека
содержит книжные издания по различным областям знания (медицинские науки,
техника, гуманитарные науки, домашнее хозяйство, учебная литература и т.д.).
Серьезность научно-технических e-book'ов разбавляет раздел развлекательной
литературы (эротика, комиксы, задачи и головоломки).
Основной целью проекта является ознакомление читателей с многообразием
книгопечатной продукции и помощь в выборе действительно стоящей книги для
приобретения у законных издателей, их представителей или в соответствующих
организациях торговли. Для покупки через Internet мы рекомендуем
воспользоваться услугами интернет-магазина “Озон”.

Авторам и издательствам
Если Вы заинтересованы в рекламе и продвижении Ваших книг на бескрайних
сетевых просторах мы с удовольствием включим их в наш каталог.
