Hi!
I couldn't find any full and free pdf versions of some ant books like "Journey to the ants", so I'm wandering what some good sources could be, if you don't mind sharing...

Order your own copies through Amazon, or check libraries depending on your location.

Keep ordinary ants in extraordinary ways.

The library in my town is part of a collective system known as NOBLE (North of Boston Library Exchange), meaning the Swampscott library can request books from other libraries also in NOBLE.  Towns include Swampscott, Beverly, Peabody, Everett, Lynn, Lynnfield, Melrose, Revere, Salem, etc.  However, they also are connected to colleges of the following: 

Bunker Hill Community College, Endicott College, Gordon College, Merrimack College, Montserrat College of Art, Northern Essex Community College, Phillips Academy, and Salem State University. 

This means I get request actual scientific books about ants instead of the picture books made for kids.  The majority of the ant books I've read come from Salem State, so yeah.

The thing is I'm not in the US or Europe, so ebooks are the only option. All the pay for versions cost like an Oecophylla smaragdina queen.

2-hand book shops are great for that. But won't have many up-to-date books. Nice to read older ones tho.

Sign up for a college. Drop out before the first class starts and get a refund. Use school login to browse scientific articles through their library. Works for me. XD
