Yinzadi | 103 comments I hope archive.org is an acceptable source of information for old books. I tried to look carefully for this book on goodreads but couldn't manage to find it. I checked the information below against the archie.org information as well as against the scanned copy of the book. Hopefully this is enough information to be going on.

* Title: A Description of the Malignant, Infectious Fever Prevailing at Present in Philadelphia: with an account of the means to prevent infection, and the remedies and method of treatment, which have been found most successful
* Author(s) name(s): William Currie, Thomas Dobson
* ISBN (or ASIN)
* Publisher: T. Dobson
* Publication date: 1793
* Format: Hardcover
* Description: (couldn't find one)
* Link to cover:

Cover is here: http://archive.org/stream/2548023R.nl...

Michael | 254 comments The book information seems to listed by the Internet Archive, which states on its homepage that it is a "non-profit, is building a digital library of Internet sites and other cultural artifacts in digital form. Like a paper library, we provide free access to researchers, historians, scholars, and the general public."

Which seems to me that it should be OK to sue its data. Therefore I will add the book, but if a super thinks otherwise, then by all means delete when you see this!

Yinzadi | 103 comments Thank you. Archive.org was listed among the suggested sites to use on the thread that said amazon would no longer be allowed, so I was hoping it would be okay.

Cait (tigercait) | 4988 comments Yes, archive.org is fine, as far as I'm aware. I've created the book record here:
