Welcome!

These books and archives contain valuable thinking and information for our time. Some are decades old, as valid now as ever they were, in some respects surpassing today's equivalent books. Some are new and unpublished in print.

No money-transactions are involved at all. The publisher, a former book editor, grew tired of rejecting good manuscripts on marketing grounds – censorship – which meant that many of the best books were unavailable.

Our authors prefer to share their work longterm, for free, than to earn royalties for short-lived, at times mis-published books – it's the ideas that matter.

Please bookmark and return, and tell people about this resource. May this publishing adventure bring great benefit, in all directions!
