EServer Books Collection has one goal and that goal is to make book-length writing accessible to online readers and researchers. EServer was founded in 1990 and was based at the Carnegie Mellon University. Since then it has grown to include all book length collections online. At this point EServer Books Collection has been directed away from monographs (book length projects) and includes classic literature. It now hosts three groups of literature available online: fiction, nonfiction, and poetry. Some of the fiction includes Beowulf (which is also included in the poetry section) and an extensive library of Edgar Allan Poe's work. In the nofiction section you will find numerous autobiographies, including Ben Franklin. The nonfiction section also includes work by Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde. On top of that there are articles like "How to Publish Your Book," which are available free of charge to anyone. The site is extremely user friendly and easy on the eyes. The works are printable and there is a search bar and a site map if you are having trouble locating a piece of work.
