The Woodworks Library has a bunch of PDFs of woodworking books, mostly public domain materials from the late 1800s or early 1900s. However, some of them are more modern, like this US Army Corps of Engineers carpentry manual from 1995. [via open materials]

We got the following email from a reader:
I'm pretty sure I just got nailed by an Adobe Acrobat Reader exploit in this file: http://www.evenfallstudios.com/woodworks_library/us_army_engineer_course_carpentry_1.pdf I've let evenfall know, I'm letting you know, and I forwarded a copy to Adobe and my antivirus software provider. If you're curious, look up "Antivirus Soft" malware removal. [www.bleepingcomputer.com] has instructions.
