Spectrum Press is an e-text publishing house committed
to quality fiction, poetry, and nonfiction,
classics of consequence, outrageous literary entertainments,
and all strong voices against political and social injustice.
We publish complete electronic texts on floppy disks for
both PC and Mac. Many of our titles are Spectrum Press
originals, and others are electronic versions of previously
printed works. We are publishers in the same way Random House
or New Directions are publishers. Where relevant, we have
royalty contracts with writers. Each book is uniformly formatted
for use with our included reader program. We make every effort to
ensure that everything we publish meets a high editorial standard.
All disks are guaranteed against mechanical and electronic defects,
and free technical support is always available via our toll-free
number or by E-mail. If you have questions about the compatibility
of our disks with your system, please contact us.

The list that follows contains nearly 150 titles and
is arranged in 6 categories in the following order:

Spectrum Classics
Nonfiction and Reference
(Artemis Books, Sheridan Square Library, Obelisk
Library, and Spectrum Classics are imprints of Spectrum Press)

make judgments about which titles are unsuitable for minors, we
