She is 22 and loves learning about the history she was not taught in school. She blows me away all the time with the things she knows and is intrested in (She's huge into the Titanic for some reason) Anyways, she came to me and asked what books she could read. I told her OLD ONES. Then she asked some things about the Holocaust. I asked what she learned in school, she said they never covered it in history class. Should I be scouring ebay or other second hand sites? Or is there a place i can buy old, retired textbooks? Of course all book recommendations are welcome. Maybe a textbook is not the most thrilling read. Thanks for any suggestions.

I read the newspapers at this Library of Congress archive site.

The Beta version is easier to read but a little buggy still.

There are so many digital resources there, even tho it is the government. Great for researching your family, if you have a unique last name. Newspapers go back to the 1700s.
