What is The Freeware Book? It is a project that originated in the summer of 2002 by Scott Williams, the webmaster of FreewareArena (http://freewarearena.org/) to showcase great freeware sites and resources in an electronic book format. It is a resource that is 100% freeware and 0% spyware or adware or in anyway shape or form ad supported. It is a 'work in progress' (meaning a new updated version is available on the 9th of each month so please check back at the download-sites to get your latest copy). The Freeware Book gives an easy possibility to find and check out freeware sites, because the Book can also be used as a browser. The Freeware Book can be downloaded from: http://freewarearena.org/ http://www.winsite.com/bin/Info?14000000036690 http://www.madjo.net/freewarebook.zip http://www.sover.net/~whoi/ http://www.comune.modena.it/cittadini/apal/freewarebook/freewarebook.zip http://www.sundaysw.com/freewarebook/freewarebook.zip http://home.wanadoo.nl/hmdejong/freewarebook10.zip
