You can only post that link if those books are legally in the public domain and you have the rights to share them. Otherwise, no. We cannot condone illegal filesharing of copyrighted works.

Indeed, so long as they are copies you have legal rights to distribute then there's not a problem - feel free to PM more details if required.

However, even linking to sites that distribute copyrighted works in violation of copyright law can be deemed illegal in some countries, so best avoided.
