Strange, strange Internet

Way back in the day, in the early year of the World Wide Web, I was commissioned to write a book about the new digital environment, which I called SECRETS OF THE WEBMASTERS, a book about how to set up a web page. I had put up the first website for Screenwriters and Playwrights, after all, and at the time was ahead of the curve. I wrote the book but the publisher went under before it got published. Nonetheless, it had an ISBN number and early marketing efforts, so there is online evidence that it existed, although never published.

But I just found this:

Very weird! I had to join something to download and didn't but what the hell? Well, the manuscript did exist, so this is possible, I suppose, but man is it weird! Moreover, the book is about html 1.0, so it was obsolete a year after I wrote it! This, if it exists, is an historical relic.

Of course, I never got royalties but I did get, and I kept, my generous advance. When was this? The early 1990s, I think.
