St. Thomas' ("The Dumb Ox) seminal work the, Summa Theologica is a massive work and one which demands a rather complicated navigation scheme to make it useful, or even readable. The navigation is so complicated that I could not conger up a scheme that would be truly useful in a .lrf format. (It seems that the book compilers flatten all nested TOC and worse yet they try to make a TOC entry in the document. Sooo... I have come up with the following scheme:
Make a custom PDF from a grouping of HTML files using a common CSS sheet to adjust the font characteristics for easy reading on the PRS 505. Make several "Books" and place them in an appropriate collection named "Summa Theologica" (giving me another "level" of TOC".
In any event attached is the first of such books. It is still a little rough around the edges (some of the navigation links don't work quite like I would want). But I am posting it for comments and suggestions. The final grouping will have, I am estimating, some 14 or so volumes.
Another reason for using the custom PDF format is that it may very likely provide a more "Catholic" cross platform format.

PS to the moderators I plan on offering the final grouping of files in a ZIPPED folder. I am estimating it will be somewhere around 15 Mb in size. Is this going to be a problem?
