Anyone can check out Oh! Pascal! [1] just like a library book.

Even now, it's one of the best introductory programming books for any programming language.

I was interested to revisit the book, but when I tried, it says:

DOWNLOAD OPTIONS download 1 file ENCRYPTED ADOBE PDF download High Quality Page Images

In order to access your downloaded book you will need LCP-compliant or Adobe-compliant software on your device. The Internet Archive will administer this loan, but Adobe may also collect some information.

That's a turnoff.

Thanks for the update… I’ve only checked out books, not download them.
Welcome.
