CliffsNotes Literature Notes are Now Available for FREE Viewing Online at CliffsNotes.com; The #1 Brand in Literature Notes Now Offers Full Content Viewing on the Web

HOBOKEN, N.J. --(Business Wire)-- Sept. 7, 2004 -- CliffsNotes(R), the #1 brand in literature notes, announced today that content from their best-selling literature notes is available for free viewing online at www.CliffsNotes.com(TM). A total of 180 literature guides are now available, including classics such as "CliffsNotes The Scarlet Letter", "CliffsNotes Odyssey", and "CliffsNotes Hamlet". The entire content of each title can be viewed for free; students wishing to download and print the content will be able to do so for $5.99, the same price as the published book.

"You never outgrow great literature," points out Kathy Nebenhaus, V.P. & executive publisher at Wiley Publishing, Inc. "In fact, most adults who re-read the books they read in high school or college say that they get much more out of them the second time around. All the living you've done between then and now helps the books' messages to resonate more deeply. But whatever your age, sometimes you still need a good study guide. Visit our new website at CliffsNotes.com and you can read literature notes on these classics for free."

In addition to providing free viewing of literature guides, CliffsNotes.com offers everything students need to make great grades in all of their courses and prepare for standardized tests, including 24-hour-a-day downloads of study guides and test preps. A free resource center includes course-by-course quick study sheets and subject-specific glossaries. A free newsletter delivers key course information right to students' computers every week, and an interactive advice column, "Ask Cliff," answers students' most pressing questions. And for a fun break from studying, interactive polls let students voice their opinions and see how their responses compare with those of other students.

CliffsNotes.com provides students with original high-quality information on literature, studying, and school-related issues. The site also features a searchable catalog of all of the CliffsNotes -- most of which are downloadable -- original articles, quizzes, links, CliffsTips email newsletters, and ads directed at students. The site's content of timely articles and links changes regularly.

Since 1958 more than 100 million students have relied on CliffsNotes as "The Fastest Way to Learn." An excellent resource for students preparing for an exam -- or adults preparing questions for a neighborhood book group - CliffsNotes' expert commentary is more accessible than ever before. Much more than plot summaries made simple, titles in CliffsNotes Literature series preview, probe, and support the original work. As the ONLY literature guides written by educators, each guide offers the unique advantage of being written by the same people who set curriculum and grade students' papers.

For over four decades, CliffsNotes have provided students with the concise, expert analyses they need to get the most from great literature, strengthen their understanding of essential high school and college coursework, and excel at standardized tests. In addition to the literature guides, CliffsComplete(R) editions feature the full text of the literary work with accompanying commentary, definitions, and explanations. CliffsQuickReviews(R) provide down-and-dirty information for studying subjects like Trigonometry and Chemistry. CliffsTestPrep(R) books help students prepare for standardized tests - whether they're getting into college or preparing for a career in the military. CliffsAPs(R) provide the experience students need to gain college credit by passing Advanced Placement exams. And CliffsStudySolvers(TM) provide hundreds and hundreds of questions as well as a self-assessment test so students can learn by doing and fly through difficult subjects like Spanish and Biology.
