Finding PDF's

Anyone good at finding electronic texts? These 3 have eluded me so far:

Eye of the Century: Film, Experience, Modernity by Francesco Casetti
Trenta Passi Nella Storia del Cinema by Giacomo Manzoli
Film History: An Introduction by Paolo Bertetto

Italian or English.

I'm not familiar with the texts you're looking for, but you could try here (although I suspect you're after some essays-like texts and not published books):

http://royalsocietypublishing.org/search

http://arxiv.org/

http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Harvard_Classics_(Bookshelf)

http://discover.odai.yale.edu/ydc/

Thanks, I'll give those a shot.

library genesis is the replacement for library.nu not as streamlined but it works well (when the service is up)

I have access to that first one through my university library, but there is no full pdf download. I could probably stitch the chapters together.

Have you tried your public library? They usually have access to just about everything via interlibrary loan. They'd probably have it shipped from a different library for free or next to nothing.

Good idea, but it's for a friend studying abroad whose had some difficulty finding the book. How much trouble would it be to do some stitching? [8

Kristin Thompson, David Bordwell - Film History: An Introduction

That's not the one, huh?

Yeah, I came across that one as well, but she's certain that it's Bertetto.

no luck, found the Kristin thompson one and a Storia del cinema by Fernaldo Di Giammatteo tho.

Thanks for your trouble!
