This is an auction ... if you bid and win, you are expected to pay. If you have hyper-finger-disease bid and win because you were absent-mindedly tapping a song rhythm on your computer keyboard, then please tell me quickly and we can sort things out between us.

In most instances our CDs contain many files and documents pertaining to the theme or subject that would otherwise be out of bounds to the average person. This makes a History Discs CD a great solution for many researchers.

Most digitable books we sell are considered rare and even if you were able to locate a copy for sale its cost will often take it out of the reach of the average person. History Discs CDs fill this gap for most researchers, fans and hobbyists and allows them to own and peruse at their leisure thousands of pages of information they would not normally have access to.

Most publications on the CDs are fully searchable ... an exception is the newspaper articles, but newspaper collections have a hyperlinked contents section with separate page thumbnails.

You can also print out a selection of pages or the entire CD contents.

The files are in PDF format and will work with any operating system that can read PDFs. Adobe provide a free PDF reader which in most cases comes already installed on your computer.

Our CDs are organised with a menu system which opens like a page in your web browser. This makes the collection easy to navigate and view. You can test drive any of our products and details on how to do this can be found on the ABOUT ME page.

Ask us anything at all. Even though you and I are most likely situated on opposite sides of the world, we are in fact only an email away ... so, why not write to us?
