No great options but these were the closest to fulfilling a humanities intro textbook
Nice art appreciation course, many free, downloadable documents but only via iTunes.
EBSCO Ebook (requires sign-in off campus) but free through the library.
Openly licensed (remixable) online textbook. Accessible through a web browser but I didn't see an easy download mechanism.
Book of Philosophy Wikipedia articles. Don't discount Wikipedia, it would need to be reviewed but it's a free PDF with some nice articles in it.
Book of Art Wikipedia articles. As with Philosophy book, it would need to be reviewed but is potentially a free download of good content.
Web textbook, just a site, no PDF or other download. Gaudy looking.
Sources
Large sources of open access texts
Downloadable ebooks of most major classics in literature & philosophy. Downloads are in a wide variety of formats.
Massive collection of digitized books, many of which are public domain. Older works are likely to be in here & be freely accessible online.
Library of open access academic ebooks focused primarily in the humanities and social sciences.
Collection of humanities ebooks from the library (sign-in required off campus). Nice works but no easy print option, most are very specific studies not general textbooks.
Huge database of open education materials, from lesson plans to media to textbooks. Overwhelming amount of material some of poor quality. PDF downloads.
Open SUNY work, more focused on Literature than Humanities in general but still a strong option
