Hi, Well, if you're willing to put in a little effort you can usually find the CD-Roms's that come with many books, (often carrying the complete text) mounted on a publicly available web server somewhere, (strangely enough, often as not, in Romania :) I have the complete set of O'Reiley "bookshelf" CD's as bookmarks so that I can check stuff up should the need arise, and I've seen photoshop books, etc. available too :) later jb
