gluten_freeI've never poked around there before, but the Open Library (a project of The Internet Archive) has a series of library books for borrowing... for free.
There's 507 (!) books tagged as 'gluten free' that you may be able to borrow for a 2 week period. You can start here: https://openlibrary.org/subjects/gluten-free_diet.
The books are from a number of different years and, because it's a library, there's no evaluation of the book or whether the recipes are good / bad / indifferent.
Some of the books are downloadable from the site, some may refer you to co-operating online libraries and/or refer you to local libraries where you can get the book in hard copy. So not every book is online, but it will tell you where you can get it.
There are also encrypted Daisy downloads for authorized users with NLS keys. (If you understand that sentence, it's for you! If not, it's an accessible print/audio version of a book for folk who have provided appropriate documentation of their disability. Check it out.)
A number of books also have a 'read aloud' option, so you can listen instead of have to read. That's probably not so handy in a cookbook, but it's a general option in the Open Library.
But if you're looking for new food ideas (especially for the upcoming holiday season) or just looking for something different, there may be something there for you.
And if you're not looking for cookbooks but for books in general, check out the Open Library. It has more recent books than the Gutenberg Project, which has only books where copyright has expired.
