Just saw it posted over on Reddit.
Seems like a great deal to me.

[warlockedyou]

need a download all button

There is a section in the bottom on the post that tells y ou how to BULK download them all.

1.) It has a link to .txt file which contains URLs for you to curl/wget
2.) It also has a powershell script that you can run and it will download all the books


EDIT:
Link to the text file - LINK
Link to the powershell - LINK

Just pulled them all down shortly ago:
wget -qO- http://ligman.me/2sZVmcG | grep http | parallel "wget --content-disposition --trust-server-names {}"

 

[Churchill]

and for those of us on mac/linux:

wget --content-disposition --trust-server-names -i <TXTFILE>

still names the mobis something wonky. oh well.

 

[zeynel]

i copy paste the link file to jdownloader , works fine

Beyond the cursory like, thank you @Himay and @Netwerkz101

 

[RTM]

Unfortunately, the Windows internals books are not there (that would have been awesome), but I guess I can use some books on powershell.

 

[frogtech]

Thanks for this, always nice to have more reference material for Azure and SharePoint stuff.

Not hits at all from bluecoat, fortinet, and a couple of local scan engines + the server virus scan. I am pretty sure they are safe
It's just Microsoft and partners giving some books away as a promotional tool really. You will note that they are not all new books, some are for say 2013 versions of software and not the latest 2016 versions.
