A
library for the price of a book.
We are making books available on CD and DVD, selected and organized in an easy-to-use, well-indexed format. These CDs and DVDs are designed for use on PCs and recent Macs (OS X), not CD music players or the DVD video players that hook up to a television. You can buy these CDs here using the PayPal secure payment system, by clicking on the PayPal shopping cart buttons on this page. Or you can buy online at our new store http://store.yahoo.com/samizdat, which uses Yahoo's secure ordering system. As incentive to get you to try our PayPal shopping cart, when you use it, there is no charge for shipping (even for air mail outside the US).
User's Guide: Suggestions on how to get the most out of your books on CD ROM
Our mission is to use technology to benefit both readers and authors, making books extremely inexpensive, easy to use, and easy for anyone to publish. All our CDs and DVDs are hand-crafted. The selection and organization is based on our judgement, not automated programs. And the books are presented in the simplest, most easily accessible form (plain text, with no compression and no encryption).
We continuously update our CDs, adding new books as they become available. If you buy a CD from us, you can buy up to four updates of that CD (which has all the books, not just the new ones) for a discounted price. The update price is $10 per CD and $30 per DVD. So the update price of a 2-CD set (like American Literature) would be $20, and for a 3-CD set (like British Literature) would be $30. And the price for an update of our Complete Book DVD set would be $90. You can see the list of all books recently added at our update page www.samizdat.com/update.html
We also publish books from Amazon's new Kindle book reading device:
Load your Kindle with great
books at low cost. Over a thousand 99-cent books for your Kindle from B&R

from the Harvard Classics ® Collection is
based on the table of contents of the Harvard Classics ® set of books
AKA Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf (a 51-volume collection of great works)
first published in 1909 plus the Harvard Classics ® Shelf of Fiction
(a separate 20-volume collection) first published in 1917. Both those
collections were edited by Harvard University President Charles W. Eliot
(1834-1926). This CD contains electronic versions of the great majority,
but not all of the works selected by Dr. Eliot. Books originally
written in languages other than English appear here in English translation,
but often not the same translations as the original. The Table of
Contents shows the organization by volume of the original Harvard Classics
® collection. The folders/directories are organized by author.
All these books are in plain text format. Table

Behind the Classics Illustrated ® Comics. Back in
the 1950s I was an avid reader and collector of Classics Illustrated ®
comic books. I bought every one I could find in stores, got a monthly subscription,
and ordered everything else from the publisher as back issues. And I revered
the original books honored by inclusion -- those were the true "classics";
and went out of my way to buy them and read them. About ten years ago,
when I realized that the paper was deteriorating and that the comics would
all turn to dust before my grandchildren could enjoy them, I sold the collection
through Ebay. Now it finally occurred to me that all but 26 of the original
168 classics are now in the public domain and available in electronic form.
Here I have assembled all those onto a single CD. (® Registered Trademark

Gogol and Russian Literature is built around Gogol's
Art: a Search for Identity by Laszlo Tikos, the best book ever
written about Russia's most enigmatic and intriguing author. Nikolay Gogol
(1809-1852) created a new direction in Russian letters, which was further
developed in the 19th century by writers like Dostoyevsky and Rozanov,
and in the 20th century by Bely, Bulgakov and Sinyavsky. It also includes
the full text of Dead Souls, Tara Bulba, The Inspector General, and St.
John's Eve by Gogol, plus great books by Dostoeyevsky, Tolstoy, Chekhov,
Pushkin, Turgenev, Andreyev, Gorky, Kuprin, and Lermontov, plus works on
Russian history, including two "Country Studies" -- Russia and Belarus
(birthplace of Gogol) -- which were originally published as printed books
by the Library of Congress between 1987 and 1995.
