### 0. Preamble

Joe Dever, author of the Lone Wolf game books, and Ian Page, author of the World of Lone Wolf books are providing certain of their works for free (gratis) download from the internet. Gary Chalk and Brian Williams are similarly offering the illustrations that they did for Joe Dever's books. This license is intended to protect the rights of the authors and the illustrators, the rights of his readers, and the quality of the distributions of the books.

Basically, by viewing or downloading the books or the illustrations, you agree to refrain from redistributing them in any format for any reason. This is intended to protect readers from getting poor quality, unofficial versions or from being asked for payment in exchange for the books by someone who is redistributing them unofficially.

Anyone who wishes to simply view or download the Internet Editions for their own personal use need not worry about running afoul of the terms of this License. These activities are within acceptable behaviour as defined by this License.

This section does not contain the legally binding terms of this license. The precise terms and conditions of this license follow.
