Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley
BUMP!
I figured there might be folks wanting to read Approaching Zion and maybe other Nibley books freely.

Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley
Thank you!
Nibley has lots of original content.
Even after all this time I am unaware of any if his labor proving to be poisoned fruit.

I wish they were available in PDF format for reading offline and on other devices.

Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley
It would take a little effort, but you could do it yourself. I've made PDFs for my blog just by saving my work in PDF.

Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley
It's very easy to make a PDF out of pretty much any document, picture or webpage, but you won't have a true PDF where it is the exact content and format of the original book.

Thanks OP. I will read one and let you know what I think. Once I have finished my current book!

Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley
Is it just me or can nobody else access the books anymore? I'm not done reading his works and I've been reading and listening to them and sharing them with family, friends and ward members. This makes me very sad if BYU deliberately pulled them down.

Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley
Well, my friends, I found his books elsewhere along with many others, but are only available for purchase now. You have to click all the way to page 11 to find Approaching Zion. $49 dollars and the book is yours. You can buy anything in this world with money!

Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley
I guess if people really are interested in Approaching Zion, someone might as well make money doing it. Ok, I'm done ranting and lamenting. SMH.

Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley
Dr. Nibley must be so proud. On a related note, that site now has some of the worst user experience I've ever seen. Horrible navigation to even find that they are now selling the works he insisted be free....

Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley
At one time, I had downloaded the scriptures from the church's website. I still have the old set on audio, which is now my default set of scriptures to listen to. I had to uninstall the gospel library from my phone because it was a mess and now they've changed up the format and navigation of the scriptures on the church's website. What a mess. I love the scriptures, but I no longer visit the church's website anymore to look up any passages. Anyway, I digress. I will miss using the church's online resources and I won't bother visiting BYU's site anymore either.

Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley
You know, Nibley’s books were sold in bookstores while he was alive. They were some of the more expensive books at Deseret Book at the time. I should know, I bought a few. So maybe it’s his fault

Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley
Y'all are free to try this link, which is where I dumped about 14 of Hugh's books and a few random essays. If you're good at navigating, you might find other things too.

I should mention that these books are literally copy/paste jobs I did back when BYU's Maxwell Institute had them posted, albeit chopped into chapters in HTML. I copied every chapter, pasted into a Word document, then "printed" as a PDF version. It's not elegant, but it's functional. And it's free.

Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley
iWriteStuff, thanks for sharing your Mega. I was disheartened that BYU took down Nibley's work from their site, of all things. Nothing respects his brand of firery anti-lucre scholarship than selling a dead scholar's scholarship.

Re: Free books by Hugh Nibley (and assorted)
Alrighty, that account died. I've started a new one, but I'll be limiting it to requests only. If you'd like over a dozen Nibley books (and a bunch of other church books like Journal of Discourses, History of the Church, Mormon Doctrine, etc) in pdf format, just send me a private message.
Thanks!
Thanks!
