Don Paco of the Ite ad Thomam blog, has scanned hundreds of volumes for the Ite ad Thomam Out-of-Print Library. The amazing collection includes many text books would help you to earn that "Unreconstructed Ossified Manualist" mug: there are some real gems there. As well as the works of St Thomas, there is also Mansi's Sacrorum Conciliorum and the entire Dictionnaire de Théologie Catholique to give just a couple of examples.
The files come with a request for donations - $10 per file or $500 for the whole collection.

Have you discovered Documenta Catholica Omnia?
There's also quite a lot available for free over on archive.org. Edward Feser has a list of links to particular works in his "Scholastic's Bookshelf" series:

More has become available since this was written: for example, the first volume of Phillips' "Modern Thomistic Philosophy" has just appeared.
The link to the PDF catalogue does not seem to work properly. I have gone to the blog and found the same problem. Can anyone help me?
Gosh, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a lot of these titles are already available, for free, over at the Google Books project, and from other assorted online resources. For example, all of the Latin and Greek books (and many more) are available at the Textkit website. CCEL and the Gutenberg Project also come to mind.
berenike - yes, posted on that some time ago, but probably worth giving another alert.
Others - yes there are many resources available on the internet for texts. (Summa, standard English translations of the Father etc.)
However I think it is fair to say that IATOPL has quite a few specifically Catholic interest texts that are not available elsewhere. (DTC, Mansi, manuals etc.)
Many thanks to Fr. Finigan for the publicity. If there's anything you need (esp. from ITOPL), please let me know.
To any readers interested, ITOPL has been updated far beyond what has been posted--I simply do not bother adding every new title. Right now we are at 110 GB of memory in the collection. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at iteadthomam at yahoo dot es

Here is one that every Unreconstructed Ossified Manualist ought to have: A Copious and Critical English-Latin Lexicon; founded on the German-Latin dictionary of Dr. Charles Ernest Georges, by Joseph Riddle and Thomas Arnold. Online and downloadable as a PDF.
