The Net Book of Plots (online)

This is the combined Net Book of Plots Book Versions 1 through 6. Phil Scadden, Soh Kam Hung, and I invented a new format for the books which makes it possible to convert them to HTML format.

You can also download the HTML files as one one archive (pkzip, 580K).

Submission of Plots

If you want to submit a new plot, please take a look at the submission guidelines.

Notes

The Perl script which converts the books to HTML was adapted to generate HTML 4.0. If you have any suggestions then tell me.
