Yes, I was able to download all that I tried, and there is some good
material there, ideas etc.  A great resource for sure.

Was anyone able to down load and see this books?  I tried the first one,
but none of the 5  pdf files  would open.

My acrobat 6.0 apparenlty does not like the down loads.  I get an error
message.
