There a great extra for "The Spider" that you can download - a CD-ROM image of the promotional CD-ROM that was issued to bookstores.

It not only has the full text of the book in various ebook formats, it also has a wealth of information, including a "Complete Pulp Story Guide" which includes all 118 cover images and brief information about the plots.

NB This is not a pirate or otherwise illegitimate site. Baen are happy for people to copy and pass around these CD-ROMs, so long as no money changes hands, and they know about this site and are happy with it.

Ah - but I can't give a link. I'm too new. So you'll have to find The Fifth Imperium website and the P04 - The Spider CD web page for yourself, before you can enjoy all the extras.

And if you feel like rewarding Baen for their enlightened attitude, you could always buy the ebook from their webscription website (which I can't give a link to!) or you could get the other Spider ebook "The Spider: City of Doom" which also contains three short novels:
THE CITY DESTROYER from January 1935
THE FACELESS ONE from November 1939
THE COUNCIL OF EVIL from October 1940
from the same place.
