Accurate:
We intend to verify everything in any publication we offer. All publications are edited for statements of fact and accuracy of typing by specially trained editors, not just "spell checked" as many publications seem to be now.
Easy to read:
    Our publications are in HTML format, which has many advantages over most other formats, such as:
  1. They can be read on any system with just a web browser (such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Iexplorer, etc.)
  2. You can find a particular word or phrase using the browser's search function.
  3. Words in the text can be linked to their definitions so that if you click them you see the definition immediately.
  4. You can set preferences to make the type larger or different fonts or even change colors.
  5. You can adjust your monitor for brightness and contrast.
Easy to understand:
  1. We try to use the most common words that will give the clearest meaning with the least words. (of course, you probably would've understood the foregoing sentence if we had said "We endeavor to employ the most popular terminology that will convey the intended nuances with precision and at the same time maximize conciseness", but why take more than twice the space just to exercise our vocabulary?) Also, we ignore some of the "rules of grammar" that have been handed down from so called experts when those rules make understanding or reading harder.
  2. We try to make all words that are not used really often clickable to see the definition.
  3. We try to organize the material in a logical order and show how each fact relates to the others.
  4. We provide mnemonics in some files to make the material easier to remember.
  5. We also offer some subjects in HTML programmed instruction or "courseware" format.
Complete:
Every effort is made to ensure that the subject expressed in the title or subtitle is covered sufficiently well so that the reader can completely understand what is presented.  When you see a flaw in a book, please use the link at the end to send us a correction.
Well organized:
Every Contents listing is a link to the Chapter listed. The same for Index listings. Chapter titles are carefully chosen to make clear the material covered, and relationships of facts are made plain.
Easy to keep:
It used to be that if one wished to keep a large store of information that they would need to build a library into their home, and take precautions against the attacks of insects and the yellowing of age.

Now, if a novel takes 2 megabytes of storage space, you can get 328 of them on a single CD! Encyclopedia Brittanica is available on a single CD,as well as something called "The library of the Future". And you can get approximately 10 times the amount of storage of a CD on a single-sided single-layer DVD! You can truly carry a library in your knapsack, and save paper by the ton in the bargain. Careful organization of folders makes it possible to find any book nearly instantaneously.

Easy to GET:
You can download or read on the web anytime, day or night, and be reading almost instantly
A bargain:
Automated delivery by download, and storage on disc saves nearly all the cost and space paper would take.  It also saves the weight of the paper and the cost of shipping that weight.  So whatever you decide to pay mostly goes to reward the author.  That means that you can fairly compensate the author and still come out way ahead.  Another important advantage of digital books (maybe most important) is that, with care in choosing folder and subfolder names, your books are much easier to find.
Mnemonics:  (ne MON iks)
Means "memory aid", such as the one for the Great Lakes: "homes”. The letters in HOMES are the initials of the 5 Great Lakes i.e. : Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior.
Compensate: (kom pen seyt)
Means "to give value for value received", or balance (a transaction for instance.)
i.e.: abreviation for “id est” (Pronounced as spelled)
Is latin for “it (or that) is”.  Used in place of “that is to say".
Single Acme Cutter:
means one single point cutting tool that is used to generate different sized Acme threads.
Generating:
means creating a more complex shape in the workpiece by moving a simply shaped tool along the complex path, as versus forming.
Forming:
means creating a complex shape in the workpiece by cross-feeding a correspondingly shaped tool directly into the work, as versus generating.
Cross-feed:
means moving the cutting tool normal (or at right angles) to the axis of rotation of the work, as by means of the cross-slide.
essentially:
means near enough for most practical purposes.
cutting on a corner:
means cutting on two adjoining edges so that the chip from each edge interferes with the chip from the other.
Trick
to break corner chips apart: Grinding a v-groove behind each cutting edge, starting at zero depth at the corner, will cause the 2 chips to curl in opposite directions. .
