Creative Commons

Apocalypse Later Press books are licensed through Creative Commons, using the CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 copyleft license (an alternative to copyright). This means that anyone is legally allowed to copy and distribute them, as long as they:

  1. Clearly identify the author of the work (BY)
  2. Do so on a non-commercial basis (ie they don't make money) (NC)
  3. Do not change the terms of this license (SA)

So please download these books for free and share them so that they can reach as wide an audience as possible. Piracy is not the enemy; obscurity is the enemy.


Buy Books

Of course, we don't get paid anything from a free download so, if you enjoy the book, please consider buying a print copy to show your appreciation and help us pay my bills.

If you don't have room for dead tree products, then please consider buying a print copy for a friend at Amazon or other online vendor. Alternatively, donate one to a library instead. Either way, I get paid and someone gets to read a good book.

Signed copies are available from the Dog Eared Pages used bookstore in Phoenix.


Review Books

Even if you only read the free PDFs of these books, please consider writing reviews of them at amazon.com. Reviews are like gold at Amazon, who will promote books which have obtained enough of them. Getting fifty reviews at Amazon would be like a Christmas present for us.
