    They just leeched from z-lib and libgen and then they purposely make the downloads super slow so you buy their overpriced "subscription". No thank you. Completely useless, you can just use the original sources z-lib and libgen.

An astonishing number of books with safe downloads and no sketchy advertisements. My go-to for research and textbooks.

It has access to Z-library books plus other shadow libraries. Since Z-library went down it's the easiest way to search its database without using Tor.

What is Anna’s Archive?

Anna’s Archive is a non-profit, open-source search engine for “shadow libraries”. It was created by Anna, the person behind the Pirate Library Mirror, which is a backup of the Z-Library shadow library. She felt that there was a need for a central place to search for books, papers, comics, magazines, and other documents.

We strongly believe in the free flow of information, and preservation of knowledge and culture. With this search engine, we build on the shoulders of giants. We deeply respect the hard work of the people who have created the various shadow libraries, and we hope that this search engine will broaden their reach.

This is very much a "v0". In its current state this website has many, many flaws. Since Z-Library was taken down, we rushed to get this up and running, to make the Z-Library collection accessible again.
