All CDs are published in Adobe pdf format. They are bookmarked and searchable and will run on both PC and Mac. These re-published works are not just scans of the original - they have been totally reset and made suitable for screen viewing, whilst remaining faithful to the original.

The books listed below have been fully digitised and are not just images of pages. You can search for single words or phrases and search or navigate via the bookmarks. Text on these Cds is as clear as you are reading it now and not "blurred".

It should be noted that some websites selling similar CDs claim "full search" facilities. What they are actually selling are scanned images of pages which are NOT searchable. These page images may have been bookmarked but this means you still have to read the whole book to find what you want. Quality in many cases is also poor.

If you have any doubts as to search-ability, ask for a few sample pages so that you can check what you are paying for. Reputable sellers will be happy to do this.

Apart from producing books ready for printing in the traditional manner I can convert out-of-print books into Adobe pdf files for release on CD. Books are be completely digitised and presented in a version that is compatible for on-screen viewing. They are fully bookmarked and fully searchable. This is a very good way of re-publishing books when it is not commercially viable to publish on paper in the traditional way.

There is no direct charge for this service. I normally split any profit from sales with the client, after materials costs have been deducted.

The only stipulation is that the client must own the copyright or that the original work is out of copyright.

These can be drawn from your notes and presented as Adobe pdf files. This means that large trees can easily be viewed and navigated on screen.

This is a viable way to get your dream published for all to read. I can assist with editing if required. The finished product is supplied complete in a slim or standard jewel case, colour printed insert and face printed CD.
