These magic eBooks can be downloaded freely for your reading pleasure and education. The ones I produce are in the following two formats:

1. Windows executable format: These are self-contained eBooks. You get one program file which you double click to open the same way you double-click any other software program. These only work in Windows 9x and up.

2. Plain html format: Download these if you use any operating system other than Windows. You can read these files in your web browser. Just open the first file (usually 001.html, 01.html or cover.html) and go from there.

and I will send you all the needed files.
