Most Useful Books - Free - Forgotten Books
Introduction to Forgotten Books
WELCOME to Forgotten Books,
the world's largest online library with over 1,000,000 books available
on demand. This website has been designed using the very latest
technologies to provide our members with many features never seen
before.
Our flagship technology Intelligent Bookshelf™ is a world leader in book recommendation and uses artificial intelligence to determine exactly the books you'd most like to read from our vast library.
More
than just books; Forgotten Books also features advanced analytical
data. Every single word, page and image inside each and every one of our
1,000,000 books have been analyzed, indexed and classified. With this
valuable research information, we can tell you virtually anything about
anything, from the most commonly used word in fiction books published in
1765, to the book with the most images of cats in the first 20 pages.
Or perhaps some more useful information, such as a list of every word in
the English language in order of usage frequency.
