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 Samizdat Express.

A Year of Reading

In a good year, I read about 100 books. Our Year of Reading CD contains 100 classic books that I'd recommend. Most of these are relatively short. Many are collections of short stories and poetry. I've avoided plays and reference books, aiming for books that should work well for people who listen to books (using text-to-voice conversion programs) rather than reading them on a computer screen.

Woodhouse English-Greek Dictionary

At the request of scholars in the field, I am making the rare and very useful Woodhouse English-Greek Dictionary available on CD. The Greek characters mean that "plain-text" isn't an option for this book.  So I did the CD version as a series of images of the pages of the original book, with a linked index page that lists all the English words that are defined. This means that you can search or browse through the index page to find the word you want and then click to see an image of the original book page with that word with the ancient Greek equivalents. Please note that since the heart of the work is in the form of images, unfortunately, this CD version  will not be useful for the blind. Sample the look-and-feel of this book on CD

Books 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.
