GÜT BOOKS provides a place to peruse classic (and free) literature to those who long for the quiet serenity and leather-scented ambiance of a well-worn library without having to change out of their dressing gowns.
This was my final project for Mod 3 in Turing School of Software and Design's Front End Engineering program.
With this application users are able to view a variety of free e-books sourced by Project Gutenberg. The user can flip through all selections, or choose to filter by their preferred genre. The user can click on their desired book to find more information, including a link to a free e-book. Users may also choose to save their selected tome to their own personal library, found under the link 'My Shelf'.
