There are many resources online for you to find public domain materials, some of which we will discuss in the following pages. Obviously we can’t cover every site here but you will see some of the main sites. There are many more available.
There are sites that will offer to sell you public domain materials but always ensure it is worth buying and that you can’t acquire it elsewhere for free.
Remember when you are searching for public domain works that there are many offline places you can visit such as libraries and second hand bookstores. These can often have public domain materials in either free or very cheap.
Estate sales, house clearances, garage sales, thrift shops and so on are always excellent places to find public domain materials and often at crazy prices. Often the people selling them do not realise the money making potential of a book and just see it as “an old book” and sell it for a silly price.
Personally, I have made a killing at shops like this. At one garage sale I purchase 3 books from the 1980’s for a dollar each which I then listed on Amazon’s second hand book market and walked away with a cool $500 because they were hard to get hold of, out of print books.
At an estate sale I found a dozen or so early 20th century Christian religious books for sale for under $5 which I scanned and turned into a profitable website.
There is a lot of potential out there you just have to look. If you are persistent and spend time poking around these offline sources you can discover some real gems that are not available online and so people will come to you to get the product.
Of course, offline you can find much more than just books. Old magazines, newspapers, posters, art work and so on all has value if it is in the public domain. Keep your eyes open when you are out and about and you may be surprised by what you can find!
