Sorry some people have had trouble finding things easily and quickly in the Archives. I must admit that I too have to scratch my head occasionally when I am looking for something. However, by now I think that Avital and Alex, plus others, have covered the problem quite well, certainly where it concerns Alex's teneriffe book.
http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/books.html#S is pretty direct, although it means searching by author. If the book is recently posted, go to This Month, or earlier months. If you are looking for lace, go to <http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/lace.html > Or Languages, if you are looking for something in another language. Or Topics, if you are specifically looking for some technique. Be warned, though, that this list is not foolproof. And yes, sometimes it takes a long time even with a high speed connection to complete a download. Be patient--there's a lot of stuff in these books. I have often thought there was a problem, only to find out that I hadn't given it enough time to do its thing. A note about the CDs. They are really are the best if you have a slow connection to the internet. You can go to < http://www.handweaving.net/Store.aspx > and buy them there. You can search the contents of each CD by clicking on the title of the CD: the contents are listed there. A good point was raised about the CDs: on this site they are always available. However, we are not publishing any more CDs after Number 8. It takes a long time to collect enough books to fill one CD, and the out of copyright sources have been drying up. So from now on, what we scan will go directly to the Archives site and be saved there, but not on a CD. Again, let me thank Alex for donating the Teneriffe book to the Archives. It is impossible for us to use new books because of the copyright restrictions, and it is only through the generosity of authors like her who give us written pemission to use their books that we can read them on the site. I know that we are all very grateful for this.
