And houses twenty stories high,
Saw-mills and millionaires and bustle;
The people there "have got to hustle."

Ex-clu-sive-ly by telephone;
And that is why the people say,"I guess we're 'cute in U. S. A."

The Child's German Book/Google Books
Published in 1870, a learning German book for children. It begins easily with letters and progresses to poetry and stories for about the fourth and fifth grade level.

I found this book to be a much more interesting way to learn a language compared to modern texts which tend to be rather dry and skeletal.The book teaches German using the beautiful older German letters.

Download Help from a Download Manager
I have dial-up which may be the reason that I have trouble downloading book from Google, although I've not had this problem elsewhere. The other day, I stumbled upon a free download manager, and for the first time was able to download books off Google.
If you've had similar problems, you might want to try a download manager. It pauses and saves, which is especially good for dial-up so when you lose your connection you aren't having to begin again. It save the portion you have downloaded before you lost you connection, and resumes after you re-connect.
