Free book: The Complete Book of Cheese

The web is a wonderful place, filled with news, information, how-to guides, games, and pornography. It also happens to be a place where you can find a ton of books...for free! At the Project Gutenberg site, I found this one: The Complete Book of Cheese, a 1955 book by Bob Brown.

This isn't just some small article-extended-to-book-length thing -- it's quite an extensive history of cheese, along with illustrations, personal observations, and recipes. Chapters include "I Remember Cheese," "Foreign Greats," "Native Americans," and "The Fondue." There's even an A to Z of cheese you might want to print out.

There's also a section titled "Fit For Drink," which tells you what drink to pair with what cheese. As the quote says, "A country without a fit drink for cheese has no cheese fit for drink."
