That would be great, but someone would have to OCR it. It wouldn't be that big a job as most of it is probably on libcom anyway (or elsewhere online) as individual articles, but there are some which aren't yet. If someone wanted to do it though we would really appreciate it

The thoughtcrime pamphlet is just the essay 'Punching Out' without any of the other works in that book. The full book is listed on amazon, but not available.
