Public Domain Product Ideas

The Animal Kingdom According to Its Organization from the Foundation for the Natural History of Animals by Baron Cuvier is in the public domain. You can grab a copy of the series here http://www.archive.org/details/animalkingdomarr03cuvi.

Why would you want to grab this public domain book series on animals?

There are four volumes which means there’s an abundance of opportunity to repurpose or reformat the content. Each volume is divided by animal category and the third volume is a series of plates, images, of the animal kingdom.

This book series could appeal to an animal niche by creating smaller books for children about a particular animal species for example a book on mammals, a book on reptiles and so forth. The plates could also be used to create posters, coloring pages, coffee table books, and printer friendly images.

If your niche is more narrow than ‘animals’ and perhaps you have a business devoted to Lobster then the images can be used to create fantastic pictures, calendars, and even lobster classification postcards, placemats and other novelties.

The books are also packed with valuable scientific information so they can be reprinted as is, perhaps polished up with new covers and some more pictures, and marketed to budding zoologists, biologists, and even veterinarians.

Okay, what if you’re not in an animal industry?

The third volume is packed with seaside images – shells and sea creatures galore. Crabs, lobsters, and a bevy of mollusks and shellfish fill the pages of this gorgeous book. The plates could make for a fantastic seashore lifestyles niche product.

Spider fanatics will shiver when they see the image collection in the third volume. Imagine how fantastic little boys might find a picture book or poster with creepy crawly spider pictures!

If you’re looking for amazing animal graphics or cater to the animal lover niche then checking out this public domain book series is a must.
