Special Pricing

The ALR series was originally conceived as a resource to be purchased primarily by academic and public libraries but over the years, numerous private individuals have become regular customers of the series as well. To purchase the complete ALR series in book form through volume 30 requires an investment of over $800.00. We decided to make the series available on CD-Rom so that the data is more easily available to our individual customers who generally aren't equipped with the same kinds of budgets as libraries. At just $300.00 -- $10 per volume -- The Complete American Language Reprint Series on CD-Rom represents a savings of nearly 65%. Furthermore, the versatile PDF format allows scholars to perform rapid text searches and to print out clean copies for personal use.

System Compatibility

Assuming Adobe Acrobat Reader is installed on your computer, PDF files are generally readable by both Macintosh and PC machines. The files are created and the CDs burned using a Macintosh but our testing has revealed that the data is accessible to PCs when running recent operating systems (Windows95 or later). A few of our customers have reported problems accessing the CD using Windows XP. If you purchase the CD-Rom and have any trouble accessing the data, please let us know. We will make certain that you are provided with a replacement CD that works for your machine.
