Where can I find free published ebooks like "Comedy Writing Secrets"
by Melvin Helitzer?

a7medo - it does not seem like "Comedy Writing Secrets" is freely
published as an ebook.  Nevertheless, many other books are - but they
are almost always classics that are no longer copyright protected
(older than 70 years, I believe).

Let me know if you are interested in such sources, there are quite a
few good and comprehensive ones.

ragingacademic - u know there are always the straight and the
"not-so-straight". I've heard PDF files are more like MP3 and
softwares these days; u get the "freeware" PDFS and the "warez" PDF.
I'm not suggesting that u tell me about these sites (doesn't harm!),
but u know i've been hearing around about sites that lets u purchase
all the books u can find in a book store in a PDF or as we call it
"ebook", format. Including books like "Comedy Writing Secrets" and
other famous published books. Just like legal MP3 u can purchase on
the net instead of actually purchasing a physical CD album, u can
purchase these published ebooks instead of purchasing and shipping a
physical book. These are, without saying, legal because these a ebook
actually published by the publishers themselves. Anyways, I also heard
of websites where u can download a free 1 day trial of any ebook and
choose to purchase if ur interested. Pleasure reading your comments.

Amazon has a large selection of e-books for sale:

thanx pink, but only if amazon.com was NOT selling the same kinda 70
year old classics in ebooks racingacademic was talking about. i guess
i checked amazon as much as i can, but they just dont sell anything
else than paper-backs and hard-barks editions of MOST books. look at
the list of ebooks they have, u can literally count them wid ur
fingers as much as u can figure out how "romeo n juliet" days these
books belongs to!

a7medo - thanks again for your question.  As I'm sure you can imagine,
Google Answers is not in the business of supplying information
pertaining to "unkosher" sites.

Best of luck with your search!

racingacedemic - Halo? When did I say "hey gimme sum unkosher sites
baby"!? Please take the time to read my reply, I'm sure it went
sumthing like "Legal Sites, Authorized by the Publisher, Coz they pay
the publisher for what they sell and we buy". Now is that such hard
question, or do u guess I'm such a genius who invented the idea of the
world's first online ebookstore that sells every hardback and softback
in the rack at that bookshop around the corner in a downloadable
format so u dont have to wait for ur book to be shipped again? Gawd,
was that so easy to make up or don't tell me nobody came with that
idea before. (in that case, google answers please patent my invention
for my rights!)
cioa!
