It certainly would be useful to have all our essential field manuals available for free download. But it is her publisher who would have to agree, not her, as the publisher owns the copyright in the work. It might be worth writing to them, but if the book is still in print it is very unlikely they will give permission for its free distribution. Academic authors should look at Creative Commons licensing, and avoid transferring all their rights to commercial publishers as much as possible. http://creativecommons.org/ best wishes Stephanie Meece
