Am I interpreting this offer correctly, that it is for libraries to obtain access to the e-books for free? It does not seem to me that an invididual can download one--am I missing that part?

Hi: I'm not sure about the other link that was sent because I didn't try it but, in the case of the link that I sent, you can obtain the pdfs of a lot of the books shown.
