The Guggenheim Museum has digitized a ton of its out-of-print publications and is offering them free. This is a treasure of art literature as well as great book cover design. Congrats Guggenheim!

OMG - Free art books!! Seriously! Thank you Guggenheim. This is so great.
How do I actually get/download these digitized books??
I followed the link to Guggenheim,
and I can see all those books listed,
but I can't see any way to get them.
Any hints?
It looks like they are available for reading online, rather than download.
open the book online, on the firts pages,
you'll find an url to archive.org taht offers several formats on the left end of the page.

but the quality of the images of the pdf is poorer that online reading
access ssecca
At the Internet Archive site there is a much snappier online book reader (that works on many platforms including mobile)... and you actually download the books in many formats, including searchable text transcriptions (made via OCR). (E.g.: http://www.archive.org/details/josephcornell00corn)
