From major literary works and detailed historical

and scientific studies to popular fiction and self-help
books, right down to bizarre self-published tracts
about the role of extraterrestrials in human
evolution it’s incredible how much there is to find
on Scribd. Fantastic!

Penny R.

I am beyond ecstatic over finding Scribd! The

selection of ebooks and audiobooks is plentiful. I
have found and saved so many books to read and
listen to that would have otherwise cost me a
fortune anywhere else. There’s no contest at all! 👌
