LMPIntroductionSupList

The following two supplementary lists for PEACE PLANS 1546 - 1768 bring

1.) an alphabetical list for their contents, by author and with some cross references according to subjects and

2.) the contents lists of these issues by PEACE PLANS numbers.

Plain text was chosen to enable me to include both files in a single floppy disk, zipped.

To facilitate searching with the find program, these files were not broken up but are offered as large single files.

Otherwise, in RTF, they would have come to 907 pages in almost 6 Mbs, i.e., they would be too large for a single floppy disk and too large for e-mailing. Zipped they come only to 1269 Kbs.

Most computer users will have the Winzip program for unzipping these files. I have not advanced as yet to self-extracting files. Maybe one day, I will.

I would have preferred to transmit, in some way, the texts in RTF, but this would have meant breaking the files up and transmitting them a fraction at a time. Too much bother, for me and for you. So you do not get life URLs e-mail addresses in this listing. Too bad. You will have to work a bit harder yourself.

Sooner or later, I hope, both files will be available on one website for free downloading, in a better format.

The completion of the files of all PEACE PLANS issues by their covers and numbers will still take me considerable time. Likewise, the integration of this supplementary literature list with the main literature list on www.acenet.com.au/~jzube Don't hold you breath in the meantime.

But at least PEACE PLANS 1-20 & 399-401 are by now available free of charge, in manageable batches, by e-mail, upon request. PP 399-401, my first peace book, in German, only in zipped form, coming to 579 Kbs. The others in RTF. This free offer applies only until these texts are available on a website for free downloading or for sale on a CD-ROM, with much other libertarian material, or both.

Probably I will scan in a few dozen books - but certainly not my whole PEACE PLANS series.

If copyrights claimed by others are no obstacles, anyone is invited to do so himself and make these texts available to others, free of charge or for a profit to himself, as long as he or she do not copyright them.

My own texts and those of Ulrich von Beckerath, whose literary heir I am, are in the public domain.

Try to find more freedom texts, more cheaply and more permanently elsewhere, offered by a single publisher, in any medium. I would even reward you, if you are the first to point out such an offer to me.

Reward you with what? 100 free LMP microfiche of your choice!

With the strengths of all affordable and lasting alternative media towards full liberty, for all those desiring it and towards the degrees of liberty that others desire for themselves.

LMP's website offers a 2,000 pages (almost 5 Mbs) guide to the 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 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? A supplementary LMP list for Peace Plans 1546-1620 can be found on: http://www.butterbach.net ==============================================================================

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.

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.

====================
Total: 7.84 Mbs from over 1450 pages, which it took me 13 years to produce. Since then about 70 issues p.a., averaging over 300 pages - but only on microfiche!
Note that PEACE PLANS 19 A & B, on monetary freedom, are already available in the appendix on my main website: www.acenet.com.au/~jzube - which brings my LMP Literature List up to PEACE PLANS 1545.
 

Please note also that the above listed Mbs are among my contributions towards one or several libertarian CD-ROMs that either I or others will come to compile. You may include them or any segment on your website.

Anyone may also freely reproduce the nearly 5 Mbs of my main website and the supplementary list

for PEACE PLANS 1546 - 1620 that is available on the www.butterbach.net (Size?)

I do intend to continue my LIBERTARIAN MICROFICHE PUBLISHING until I have reached PEACE PLANS (PP) No. 2,000. But do not expect me to scan-in all of its ca. 500,000 pages. Latest: PP No.: 1725.

The microfilming of pages is still much more accurate, is automated and computerized and much easier and time-saving for me, even through a commercial micrographic agency, than is scanning and proof-reading.

My conversion from duplicating and offset printing the above early PEACE PLANS issues to microfiching the following helped me to increase my annual page output about 189 times!

Have you become 189 times as productive through your computer usage?

Apart from copyrights restrictions, to the extent that they can be successfully imposed upon us or are supported by you, you are invited to scan-in all those libertarian texts that you do like and that are accessible to you and to offer them e.g. on microfiche, on floppy disks, on CD-ROMs, via e-mail or on websites.

If all active libertarians did the whole job of permanent and cheap libertarian publishing, tackling e.g., the whole backlog of out of print and unpublished libertarian writings, in a division of labor scheme, in loose collaboration, just to avoid the duplication of efforts and to announce all of them, then each participant would not have to do much of this chore and spend much time, money and energy on it.

Perhaps as few as 300 CD-ROMs or at least CVDs could already reproduce all libertarian writings and 10 CD-ROMs might already contain a life-time's libertarian reading!

How many libertarian Mbs do you have to offer for the first libertarian CD-ROM issues? How many do you offer on the Internet?
