Go to the Internet Archive and type your book title into the metasearch box. Download the book in PDF format, and make sure it is in the form of page views -- actual pages of a book. Check the date of publication for the book. This only works for older books that are out of copyright -- say before 1925 of so. You will get exactly what was in the book when it was published. This is the only book download form that you can trust not to have been edited or altered.

Why is The Grapes Of Wrath 336.6MB?
Scanned pages of a physical book where each page is an actual image and not merely text being displayed. This 336mb file with 636 pages/images would be an average of ~542kb per image.
Okay. Sigh. Whatever.
Actually be a good girl and write it to text for me. Thanks.
