Save Books

The publisher stopped printing these books -- please share them. I authored these eight books between 1986 and 2003 and am compelled to do whatever I can to keep them accessible.
  1. Health Information Transactions, Privacy, and Security, 2003
  2. HIPAA in 24 Hours, 2002
  3. Information Systems for Health Care Enterprises, 2000
  4. Virtual Education Manifesto, 1998
  5. Software Reuse, 1995
  6. Developing Educational Hypermedia, 1995
  7. Hypertext: from Text to Expertext, 1991
  8. Machine Learning (Forsyth and Rada) 1986
Of his books, Roy most recommends to you his 1995 Hypertext: from Text to Expertext. Why? Because of its depth, breath, and cohesiveness.

"Hypertext: From Text to Expertext" remains my favorite for its intellectual scope.
