/J.D. Hillberry - Drawing Realistic Textures In Pencil
Contrary to the publicity on this book, it doesn't contain techniques "so easy that anyoneAfrom doodler to advanced artistAcan master in minutes." This is instead a highly challenging manual on achieving effects close to photographic with little more than a sharp pencil. Hillberry, an artist and teacher, offers splendid demonstrations on creating the look of metal, wood, hair, and even cracked glass. To his credit, Hillberry admits one needs to have already grasped shape, proportion, and perspective before approaching this level of realism. Highly recommended for collections that need more than the basics.

Masters Of Watercolor Painting
Because this book was originally written in 1923, it gives the reader first-hand insights into the development of watercolor as a painting medium. The author also explains how the new art technique was embraced by artists who began the English school of watercolor painting. Some artists’ names are easily recognizable like William Henry Hunt and J.M.W. Turner, but anyone interested in watercolor painting will certainly benefit from seeing the work of the other master watercolorists and learning from the 25 beautiful illustrations.

Hmmmm...I would say torrent file because you have access to all book while being able to download one at a time if neccesary, but downloading using torrents takes seeders to do...which aren't guaranteed and will likely not be around forever.
...about rapidshare and other hosting sites...they'll be around as long as the site is around. For now I'd choose hosting sites as the option.
It would also help if you added a brief description that proceeds the files in order to give the user an idea of what they're downloading.

If this list will turn out to be as big as I think it will be, I can't put all the separate download links in the resource thread, so this is the right place to put them.
