I am looking forward to receiving it. But for this batch of Peace Plans issues it will be too late. They are "already" assembled and number-stamped. I just have to write the contents list for the 17th one, tomorrow. This batch of 17 is almost all made up of downloaded material. THANKS!!! IIt has happened several times before that I or someone else omitted to mention the snail mail address. As fast does one become habituated to e-mailing! Best wishes, and the very best of all: PIOT, John Zube. John Zube, LIBERTARIAN MICROFICHE PUBLISHING, P.O. Box 52 or 35 Oxley St., Berrima, NSW 2577, Australia, e-mail: jzube@acenet.com.au Tel. (02) 48 771 436. No FAX! Website: www.acenet.com.au/~jzube LMP's website offers a 2,000 pages (almost 5 Mbs) guide to the first 1545 of the 1667 PEACE PLANS issues that LMP has produced since 1977, containing, on about 500,000 pages, libertarian and anarchist books, pamphlets, magazines, newsletters, dissertations, bibliographies, directories, indexes, essays & articles, letter, review & leaflet collections, etc., with an average of over 300 pages per microfiche: $ 1 cash each, post-free for orders of at least 10, or 2 International Reply Coupons or $ 2 other non-cash, with small cheques not accepted. Has any other individual published more freedom texts, more cheaply, in any medium? Probably Dr. David Hart, Adelaide, has, recently, when he published, before he heard about my CD-ROM initiative, 4 CD-ROMs containing classical liberal writings and he has over 2 Gbs in readiness for further such issues. Anyone else?

HOW MANY LIBERTARIANS DOES IT TAKE TO FILL A CD-ROM? How many libertarian Mbs can and will you contribute towards a complete libertarian publishing, library & information service on ca. 300 CD-ROMs, with all the desirable reference works, linked, like the Encyclopaedia Britannica on CD-ROM, to Internet sites? Get entered in the still small but growing list of interested people for the cooperative filling of CD-ROMs, all produced only upon demand. They are, currently, still the cheapest, easiest, most powerful, wide-spread & durable enough alternative medium for all freedom books etc. For further details see: www.geocities.com/libertarian_library/ or write to me. - PIOT, John Zube, Libertarian Microfiche Publishing: www.acenet.com.au/~jzube & http://butterbach.net/lmp/lmp_sup.htm - jzube@acenet.com.au - or: P.O.

No fax! ============================================================================ ==== CDROM628words LIBERTARIAN CD-ROM PUBLISHING & LIBERTARIAN LIBRARY WHAT? Complete libertarian publishing library & information services for all freedom texts not yet cheaply, permanently & easily accessible in any medium, supplementing & listing all of freedom texts etc. offered in all media, or cheaply combining them, with permission, if required. BY WHAT MEANS? CD-ROMs, zipped, later CVDs, then still better disks, until all freedom texts can be found on the Internet & large & multiple websites are easy, fast & cheap enough to set up, maintain & download A public & growing list indicating all interested & inviting independent collaboration or competition. CD-ROM disks, drives & burners are already wide-spread & cheap. CD-ROMs are commercially pressed for as little as 50 cents. Each can contain, zipped, 200 to 2,000 book titles. A lifetime's freedom reading on a mere 10 CD-ROMs! A complete freedom library on perhaps no more than 300 CD-ROMs! Filling them will not only require extensive downloading & e-mailing of already digitized texts but also extensive digitizing, mainly as a labour of love. Luckily, scanners have become cheap & efficient & division of labour for large jobs is an ancient invention. WHO? Anyone interested in contributing libertarian Mbs, keyboarding, scanning, proof-reading, editing & computer skills & copyrights permissions. CD-ROMs, like microfiche & floppies, are essentially self-help media but do mostly need collaborators to fill them. With cheap, lasting, powerful & efficient alternative media anyone can be a publisher, editor & compiler. HOW? By keyboarding, scanning, downloading, alone or in association with others. Sending Kbs & Mbs on floppies, partly filled CD-ROMs or via e-mail - to the compilers of CD-ROMs. By dividing the chores of e.g. digitizing whole books into manageable portions between those who like a particular book. By collaborating with & publicizing all who have already taken steps in this direction. See the slowly growing list of interested people. WHY? Because it is possible now, affordable, & achievable by enough interested people. We could use all our resources at our fingertips. We have never had them yet. On CD-ROMs they could be made cheaply & conveniently accessible & linked to current websites. In combination they could be rather useful. Sufficient knowledge could give us considerable influence. Climbing the mountains of liberty knowledge would not only provide us with a great view but also realistic blueprints, the best programs, strategies, tactics, advice, refutations & references. Remaining disagreements would come closer to being settled. All valuable ideas, discoveries, talents & opportunities could be brought to light & made widely accessible. The Internet can do much but not yet everything or optimally. WHEN? As soon as the growing list of interested people contains enough libertarian Mbs to fill the first libertarian & cooperatively compiled CD-ROM. PRECEDENTS, DEMONSTRATIONS, EXAMPLES: Few will be as productive with this medium as Dr. David Hart has already been, who produced 4 CD-ROMs on his own, mainly on classical French Liberalism. Compare Encyclopaedia Britannica & The Library of the Future, each on one CD-ROM. The latter contains over 5,000 titles, not all book-sized, but includes some freedom texts. There are thousands of music, games & software CD-ROMs. It's high time for more libertarians to use of this freedom of expression & information opportunity, at least for freedom texts not yet otherwise available.
