Free books from Small Beer Press
i just found this page. i don't know these authors but i think Small Beer Press is making a really great initiative (and for all the right reasons), and i appreciate their philosophy, so i thought i would spread the word.

Interesting. I downloaded two versions of "Mothers and Other Monsters". Unfortunately, for the book I really wanted, "Stranger Things Happen", all three of the links I tried were broken. Bummer.

yes, some of the links i tried were broken as well. but the html version of "Stranger Things Happen" works, and you can easily convert it to anything from there.
Edit : maybe we should tell them their links are broken... |

Hi, Gavin from Small Beer here. We did indeed have the links pointing to the wrong place—someone emailed me about them and they should all be working now, thanks!

Hi Gavin ! thanks so much for stopping by, and for fixing the links... i'm looking forward to reading your books and hope to read many more from Small Beer Press ; as I said, i think you guys have really got everything right in your philosophy. It's great to see publishers who think like you.

I thought beer was brewed, not pressed.

Gavin, great site and philosophy, thank you.
I've just downloaded an html of Stranger Things. I'll convert it to Mobipocket and I can't wait to read it on my iLiad. btw, the link to the Mobi version is broken: http://lcrw.net/cc/smp-dl.php?file=K...ger_Things.prc |

Just to add that several more collections have been posted here including The Ant King and Other Stories by B. Rosenbaum about which an interesting and spirited discussion is hosted by Niall Harrison at Torque Control the blog of the editorial staff of Vector which is the critical journal of the British Science Fiction Association.
