There is a tremendous amount of information on the internet - the equivalent of thousands of reference libraries. For those who can't easily get to a library, or who cannot afford books, the internet is a wonderful invention. There are many, many books that can be downloaded for free, to be printed out and read at leisure - these include much of the writings of the classical and ancient ages. The list below (compiled with the invaluable help of Kim Farnell) will be of particular interest to astrologers.
Note Most of these texts are old and out of copyright. However, a few works are still in copyright, and will therefore have restrictions on their use; please read and observe these restrictions.
