BEAUGRANDE NEW INTRO GRATIS

[Robert Beaugrande]

FREEDOM TO THE BOOKS!!

 

Robert De Beaugrande

 

I'mglad to announce the free distribution of my 'big' books to be downloaded gratis from my website, which has become

 

beaugrande.bizland.com

(no www. for some reason)

 

If I advocate 'freedom of access to knowledge and society' (see especially my newest book listed below), I cannot address people in expensive or hard-to-find  books. The following are already available, scanned, edited, reformatted, and broken down into webpages under 300 kb for easy download and free use. They may be quoted, translated, or downloaded onto CD without the author's permission. An occasional thank-you note would be appreciated, though, to
