This might be of some interest to you. Project Guttenberg just put online and is the 25,000th book to be scanned, OCR'd and proofread by the organization.
It was written in 1881 so it should be of interest to anyone interested in alt processes.

Best of all, it's free!

And if you search away in on the Guttenberg project, they got tons of stuff filed under either photography or camera :)
