Using Free Catholic Bazaar

The material on this site is gathered here rather than referenced with links for several reasons.

• It is in the Public Domain, not under copyright.
• It provides convenient access without the need to search other sites.
• Only the relevant material is presented here. It was often found near non-religious material.
• Web sites often reorganize or vanish and the material disappears.

Links are provide to:

• Reach duplicate material in other forms.
• Access copyrighted material.
• Access material too complex to reproduce here.
• Give credit to sources.

Notes on the presentation format.

All file and directory names are lower case with underscore (_) for a space character. This avoids incompatibilites between systems that distinguish case and those that do not. It also assures a uniform sorting order and simplifies the use of commands that require special handling of names with spaces.

The top level organization divides the material into Books, Audio Books, Periodicals, Music,and Art. Additional categories may be added later.

At the second level are the authors or artists. The works of each author are grouped together. Each author directory contains a brief ~biography.html.

Each author directory contains one or more directories, where each directory represents a given work. All the files relevant to that work are in the directory with the name of the work. The names of the files provide the identification of the content both on this site and on your computer or mp3 player. The mp3 files here are 64KB, sufficent for voice. 128KB files are available at Librivox. See the file ~source.html in each "work" directory for further details and links to related material. The different files in each work directory represent

• Separate chapters, particularly with audio books.
• Different formats such as text, pdf (Adobe), and html.
• Html works with images are wrapped into a zip file.
• Each artistic image as jpg file.
• Descriptive data such as ~source.html and ~biography.html. The leading ~ indicates this is not part of the work and also causes it to sort to the end of an alphabetical list.

If you do not know the name of the author or work, use the Search by Content dialog that provides a Google-like report of files with content that matches your query.

If you know part of the file or directory name, use Search by file name. It will return any file or directory name that matches your entry.

For a complete list of all works in the system use List of titles to browse. Click on any line to go to that work.
