Coming soon...  Papermill Books

Some of my earlier books, widely used in schools and colleges, are out of print - but not for much longer. The original text of some of these will shortly become available as fee pdf downloads, and eventually new editions, with revised introductions and covers, will be published by my own imprint, Papermill Books, and available print-on-demand from this website.

 

 

Free ebooks in PDF format!

'The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.'

Herbert Spencer (1820 - 1903) from State Tamperings with Money and Banks

(We could have done with Spencer during the banking crisis of 2008!)
