"Textbook Revolution provides a service that helps expand the reach of our mission. Their cataloging service—which organizes and comments on all appropriate free textbooks and supplements--is a wonderful resource for all college students." Joining him in announcing the merger was Jason Turgeon, President and founder of Textbook Revolution. "I’m excited to join Freeload Press. Both of us are working hard to make college more affordable, so this is a natural fit", said Turgeon, who will continue to manage Textbook Revolution and work as a publisher with Freeload Press, Inc. "By joining their team, I’ll be able to greatly increase the resources for free books I can direct students to, without compromising quality. This is really going to benefit students looking for relief from the spiraling costs of education. " said Turgeon. Textbook Revolution catalogs and hosts free textbooks and websites that could replace books. Each link in the catalog is carefully reviewed and tagged so that users can quickly find and compare books. The site provides one-stop-shopping for students, professors, and lifelong learners looking for free, top-quality educational material. Started by Turgeon, now a senior at Northeastern University in Boston, the site currently hosts or links to more than 200 free textbooks and plans to add several hundred more over the coming year.
