We at AD&D.com want to help you find what you need in the shortest amount of time.

If you know of a Net.Book which is not listed here, please let us know. Also, if you would like us to announce your Net.Book's existence, please contact us. If you have no troubles accessing this site, you will probably find fast downloads from our site. Look for "AD&D.com" in the listings of the Net.Books to see if we carry a particular Net.Book.

Only the postscipt and WordPerfect versions are guarenteed to look the way they should. A note: Erik Trimble's site has Version 5 of the book. Version 6 is the current version.

Spells of Alpha the Mage

A little known net.book; not much to say about it. Our thoughts are this one is worth while, many original spells.

Katrine's Spellbook

Another unknown spell book. However, diamonds are found where no one has looked before, and very few people have seen this one. Who knows, it might be a winner.

Matrix's Guide To Mystara

Compiled by Matrix.

As we once helped edit this net.book to prepare it for its premier release on the Internet, we are rather biased towards its quality. But it is a good book, particularly if one likes Mystara, an out-of-print TSR campaign world.
