Richard,

I appreciate your advice on this matter. I have no feel at all for 
delivering this package via the web.

There will be about five or six separate themes. I have developed 
each on one or two cards (maybe a substack) all as part of one stack. 
There will be a front piece (card one) with an index and buttons to 
take the user to the specific theme.

My thought was to simply create a standalone consisting of the entire 
stack (it won't be large) and store that on a web site with the url 
to be cited in the book.

Pretty basic. Is there a better way?
