Hello Jamil Khatib,
   On your web site, how do I find a list of 
the "More than 15 free books & tutorials"?

Thanks,
[-Rick-]

It would be helpful if you were to explain up front what you mean by 
"free" and what you are charging for.
Otherwise, this comes across as misleading and a bit of a turn off.

As I understand it right now, there are books that you acquired for free 
that you have put on the DVDs that you sell.  Is that right?

Fred

List of books is available now on http://opentech.handasarabia.org/2012/09/opentech-books/

I am so sorry for the confusion. 
All tools, books, designs are free open source and we charge for the compilation of all of them
in one single package.

In the near future we will have the DVD images downloadable from the internet within the coming
few months but for very low price to cover the hosting service.

Hello Jamil Khhatib,
   I was just wondering if there was a list of 
book titles, including authors' names, for your
collection of "free" books.

It's too bad that you do not provide a list of 
book titles.
