Here is an excellent collection of 45 free books in PDF format which I found here — "Programming Notes for Professionals" books.

The PDFs contain this on one of their very first pages:

Please feel free to share this PDF with anyone for free

This ${insert title here} Notes for Professionals book is compiled from Stack
Overflow Documentation, the content is written by the beautiful people at Stack

Because of the range of software development related topics covered, I thought this might be of interest to a large fraction of people on SN.

    Just notice their disclaimer on content correctness. I browsed quickly through the Linux one and found a few errors there.

    Yep. That's the main problem with Stack Overflow. I do sometimes consult SO for solutions to notty computer programming problems. Many times there is at least one person who has a good answer to my problem, but there are several that are talking out of their asses. It's a game of sifting to separate the wheat from the chaff. Remember, you get what you pay for.
