Kelin, I know you work hard to make such a huge collection. But I checked some of your books, and there is no mentioning from the authors or the publishers about releasing them as a free material.

So I have to remove the link to your FTP server .

Sorry. Smile

It looks like many of these e-books are illegal to distribute without publisher's or author's permission.
