Many works in the public domain are old works from the early 20th century but this does not mean they don’t contain valuable information or are irrelevant to modern times. A wealth of information on a surprising variety of topics can be found in the public domain at various websites. This is one of the great secrets of some established ebook authors. You can find tons of public domain content at Project Gutenberg.

The book will not only have an interesting tones and points of views for the readers, but also your group will have fun writing together.
