Ignore the “open access” in the page header.

1. Go to https://mitpress.mit.edu/mit-press-open

2. Select a book

3. Scroll to below the initial summary info until you see links for: - Overview - Author(s) - Open Access

4. Click Open Access

5. Click “Download PDF”

View on HN

I can't seem to find the "Download PDF" link, in "Open Access", I only have links to view on PubPub.

Are only some books available for download?

Yes, seems like a small number of the books are available as PDFs.

Even so, I checked one of the ones on PubPub and it says the license is CC-BY-NC-ND; the Creative Commons FAQ says that format shifting is allowed even for a No Derivatives license (from what I understand), so you could presumably convert it if you want to.
