May 20th 2026:
I have reorganised the structure of this web site. Moreover, the inclusion of images of the book covers in this main page was producing some problems, so they have been removed. Here below you will find a list with just the title and a short indication of the content for each of the books that can be found in this web site; much more information about them can be found in the sub-pages displayed in the menu above, and from there you can download a free copy of the PDF for any of the books (except for the Sherlock Holmes / Don Camillo one). Other books are in the pipeline, they will be displayed in what appears in the menu above as "New Page" and "New Page 2," which currently are empty.
