athelindJames Randi has put the whole of his Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural online as an HTML document. He's taken a page from The Baen Free Library, which has repeatedly demonstrated that making free eBooks available via the Internet increases rather than decreases an author's sales.
This looks like a useful, interesting reference work, but be forewarned: Randi tends to assume that any "Claim" of the "Occult and Supernatural" is in fact a "Fraud" or a "Hoax" -- or just gullibility. The work, therefore, is not entirely sarcasm-free.
