These books are a good place to start…

Warning Label Put on Constitution! – Full Story
This warning appears on Wilder Publications' reprints of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence and other historical texts. The Constitution is the basis for the law of our land… yet we have been moved so far left and programmed with Political Correctness to the point that this company feels it is okay or necessary to print a disclaimer. Either way… think about it?!?

People will say they don’t have time… history will show that “They were saved because the made time!!” or “They were lost because they wasted their time!!”

Please try to read original sources or books that are based and footnoted or referenced back to original sources. And please join the campaign to save and protect the printed word.
Also, please purchase books whenever possible instead of using and reading books online. We are already experiencing the move away from printed textbooks to online textbooks in the name of going green and saving money for students, which has led to professors actually editing those works and adding their ideas and interpretations thereby changing the facts and ideas of the original author. This is a frightening precedence and will lead to more editing and loss of original information as well as to the banning of books. (Was highlighted on the Tucker Carlson Textbook Special)
1 Out of 5 Textbooks Digital by 2014 - 4 out of 5 Students who were made aware of the this practice and asked for input (without probably considering the possible sinister applications) said they did not like the idea and would prefer to read what the author of the textbook or assigned book, wrote. (Macmillan to allow professors to change textbooks online, on the fly).
The written and printed word that cannot be altered, if books are saved and protected, is forever and cannot be changed. The electronic word can be altered and manipulated by those in power (from either side). The present administration scrubs the internet regularly of information that they don’t like, don’t support or deem damaging to themselves or their agenda. If they feel that it is appropriate to ban, re-write, or scrub they do it to an alarming degree.
I, myself, in the process of doing research have many times experienced videos and even articles that I was viewing or reading vanish from the Internet in front of my eyes or be missing from my own posts.
It is obviously better to read something online than not to read it at all, but if you can afford to, buy a hardback copy of the substantive books you read and if not, buy a paperback. And then keep your books, even if you have to box them for storage. One of the best investments you can make in furniture is bookcases!! Also, it is common practice for libraries to discard or give away old books or copies of books that are not often checked out. Try to make a practice of checking out their discard racks. Another great source of old and sometimes valuable books is Goodwill or the Salvation Army. Also, teach you children to use the library and make sure your local library remains open!
Note: My husband has a great uncle who is an ex-professor from Stanford, who is both eccentric and well-heeled, that has also been in the real estate game for years. He actually has several houses full of books that he has collected in an attempt to save them for posterity. My hope to go through them all some day, keep a fair amount of the really worthwhile copies and then perhaps open a private resource library or online used bookstore or find an already existing source that would want them. (Sometimes a business idea opportunity or a way to make a difference presents itself without having to be complicated!)
I would also suggest keeping a journal and teaching your children or grandchildren to do the same. Also, some of the greatest information we have about the past is from personal letters (handwritten are always the best… put at least print out and save your online letters); letters between the Founding Fathers and to their friends and family, The Diary of Anne Frank, and hopefully someday the published letters for Coach John Wooden to his wife Nell. (Wooden wrote his wife a letter everyday of their lives together and then continued to write her a letter once a month, on the anniversary day of her death for the 25-years her outlived here. Although love letters, the insight and wisdom contained therein would be a treasure trove, should the family someday choose to publish them.)
