    Kind of continued a part of this project, under my source code preservation project. I have a slightly angle though: I ask the authors if they can release their books under creative commons, which solves the problem with that the literature and permission is tied to a specific project or even person. When I get tired of this, or get hit by a car another person can just continue if they would like. That means I have contacted (again) almost every author madAngus did contact, and a few others too. So far I have been given permissions for a quite a few books, but a slightly different set than madAngus had as of yet I also try to contact every Amiga book author I can find, so this is not AMOS-only. I'm not trying to replace madAngus works, but he hasn't been logged in for 5 years plus, so I guess his got other interests now-a-days and really don't care.

    My goals:
    1) Get a general liberal permission for anyone, for as much Amiga literature I can, under Creative Commons or alike.
    2) Host a pdf, in best cases one optimized and one higher res. for archival purposes
    3) In best case, also host an online version of the book. This is done by ocr->asciidoc. Asciidoc can be convertehd to many formats, example from the Total Amiga Assembler book. I invite anyone interested in helping out with this.

    Site and code repo etc: https://amigasourcepres.gitlab.io/page/books/amos/ Feel free to use, but notice books and scans will be updated, maybe moved etc, as it is all quite an early phase.
