It sees that I'm with a different browser locale and it automatically redirects to a different website, that gives a 404 error. Hate those "helpful" sites with a passion

What's the content of the page, downloads of books from the 80s?

[–] ghostdancer@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 7 months ago

Yes, go to main page https://usborne.com/ choose English and USA and it will let you access to the books. I hate them too, those designers or whoever think that should be useful should be punished.

Well that opened up a memory. I don't think I ever managed to type. It all in, and if I did it probably got corrupted on my crappy tape recorder, but I remember going over the Silver Mountain one many times. Thank you.

these books were great. I still have the fantasy games one on my shelf.
