@justjeff There's also calibre_annas_archive, which is a store for Anna's Archive (shadow library). Most of the St. Isidore e-book library is on there, and I'm in the process of uploading more to LibGen (the metadata of which Anna's Archive archives).

First of all, thank you for complying with my request. I appreciate it.

You speak as if these two goals - disseminating truth and running a business - are utterly incompatible. That's absurd on the face of it, otherwise the publishing business would never have existed.

I suggest you read Pius V's Quo Primum and Quod a Nobis, where he spends a surprising amount of time talking about publishers. Why? Because it was a business back then: there had to be considerable investment in making books, and the laborer is worthy of his wage, as someone far more important than Pius V once said.

Socrates explained that when a teacher is paid, he is not paid for his wisdom - that is sophistry - but in order to live so that he can pursue the truth. This is true of any honest laborer in the intellectual vineyard. On your logic, every professor should be volunteering his time; after all, anything else would be "caring more for money than for truth."

I suggest that the Catholic "both/and" is operative. If someone is studying usury, they should be willing to plunk down $10 for an ebook or $18 for a paperback. That is how it remains possible for the David Hunts and Peter Kwasniewskis of the world to continue to research and publish good books.

God bless you.

I'll gladly remove books of those who care more about making a profit than disseminating knowledge and truth.

Dear Editors of This Website:

As the publisher of Os Justi Press books, I ask you kindly to remove from this site the titles published by us. That would include David Hunt's "Something for Nothing?"

Publishing is actually a business, and a legitimate one at that, which has been around for centuries. Small Catholic publishers already have a difficult enough time making ends meet without their products being taken from them and made available for free, contrary to the statement on the copyright page that unauthorized reproduction is prohibited by law. Moreover, authors who work hard at their books deserve to earn royalties from them.

I am all in favor of sharing out-of-copyright material, but copyrights should be respected, since otherwise smaller publishers will simply go out of business altogether, and there will be no incentive to produce publications that require funding (vs. independent wealth!).

Os Justi Press strives to set reasonable prices for all its ebooks (usually $9.95), for paperbacks (usually $12.95 to $19.95), and for hardcovers (usually $24.95 to $29.95). We are not like Oxford, Cambridge, Brill, et al. who will charge $50 for a paperback or $150 for a hardcover. Please help us to keep our prices down and our catalogue flourishing.

God Bless,
Dr. Peter Kwasniewski
