Books and software in this section are either actual manuscripts which I've produced for print publication in the past, or purpose-built "e-books" in Windows Help format, all 100% complete and totally free. Some of these sold for as much as $25. Oh, and just so you know...I've only posted stuff here which might still be considered readable. I've actually written and published many more books and book-length works than this, and I'm sitting on over two dozen additional unfinished manuscripts averaging about 25,000 words apiece. (Wanna see 'em? Money talks.)

SuperThrift/The Ultimate Shopper   A complete rewrite of Steve Winter's acclaimed 1987 trade paperback finally converted for the web, plus the complete publisher's promotional and publicity kit that got me 150-plus media spots one summer, mp3s of the the radio feature series that accompanied the book's release, and more. Somewhat dated, updated in the 90s for online release, but still the most fun you'll ever have reading a moneysaving guide. First trade paperback edition & radio series: 05/87-09/87; First DOS version: 11/93 Final HTML revision: 07/05 "Nodding to fashion only to acknowledge indecency laws (BUM Equipment fleece pants, $12; pullover by Penman's, $8; eyeglass frames by Walmart, $24), a hung-over Doc (Flopsweat Gray complexion cream by CosmeTechie; Hair Everywhere holding gel by Geek's Goop, hangover by Seagram's) gives us a quick peek into the working life of a modern-day trailer park genius (chair by Steelcase, $3; seat cover by Beefy Tee's, $9; stereo by Harman-Kardon, $20; Hot Wheels keychain by Mattel, $2; computer by Bob's Electronic Surplus, $250; accessories courtesy of Salvation Army). "I'll hunt down a meal ticket if it kills me!" quips the plucky Lea as he waits for the cobwebs to clear and the phone to ring. We believe you, Cub, but it takes a lot of birdshot to down big game like a genius grant!" (Reprinted by permission of "Adult Child Month", 06/05)	The Secret World of Night   Finally formatted for the web (but still available as a downloadable, stand-alone e-book in TXT and HLP formats), this is a unique and extensive layperson's guide to almost everything you ever wanted to know about sleep and dreaming but were too damn tired to ask. (08/05) Print edition first published: 08/87 First DOS version: 09/93 First Windows version: 03/96 Final HTML revision: 03/06 The Big Stupid   The original desktop jokebook for Windows...still around, still moldy, still one of my most popular downloads. A unique 16-bit WinHelp implementation...to my knowledge, there's never been a WinHelp e-book like it. (04/96) First Windows version: 12/95 The PC/Internet Lexicon   PCWebopedia may be the definitive reference to all terms tech, but this was the first comprehensive computing and Internet dictionary for Windows, and still the best compact offline reference available. Over 3,000 words, terms, phrases and acronyms explained, with several handy references and charts. More useful than you might imagine (08/97). First Windows version: 12/95 Final Windows version: 06/99
