I have been updating the PDF files for my own books on aiimwell.org. A couple were missing, and all were formatted for printing as A6 booklets rather than for reading in a PDF viewer.They have been reformatted as A5 PDF files, which can be printed as staple-bound booklets very easily using the free PDF-XChange Viewer Besides the reformatting, only some minor corrections were made.

Thank you so much, Bhante! Your writings are very helpful.
Gain and loss, status and disgrace,
censure and praise, pleasure and pain:
these conditions among human beings are inconstant,
impermanent, subject to change.
Knowing this, the wise person, mindful,
ponders these changing conditions.
Desirable things don’t charm the mind,
undesirable ones bring no resistance.
His welcoming and rebelling are scattered,
gone to their end,
do not exist.

...he wondered whether there was any love between human beings that did not rest upon some sort of self-delusion.

Thank-you Very Much Bhante!
This offering maybe right, or wrong, but it is one, the other, both, or neither!

The last few were just added, which just about completes the set. The War On Error PDF will have to wait until I have more time to complete the book.
I have added a section to "Ethical Dilemmas" and made some minor changes to "The Heart of Buddhism."

Just a note, you have one titled "An Explanation to Rebirth" but it should be "An Explanation of Rebirth."
Again, thank you so much for these writings. Sadhu!

Just a very minor detail, in your list on this site has a slight typo: the link is "An Explanation to Rebirth" instead of "An Explanation OF Rebirth."

I enjoyed reading the Porisada story. My mother used to call me Porisada when I was a kid! 
I did not know the meaning of this until I read Ven. Pesala’s publication. This is the first time I read this story in its complete context.
It is a very inspirational story.
