This is related to a recent change in the site programming which I am testing. I redirect all deep links to files from external pages to the bibrec page.

I would never have noticed this, since I block referer information from my browser precisely to prevent sites doing this to me. However, despite having no personal problem with it, I suggest you reconsider. I think that we're coming from different angles at this question. What you regard as "deep links", I regard as "the texts" -- the things we're here to make and distribute. David, I suggest you change your pages to point to archive.org, or Sailor, or something. That will allow readers to access your books directly. I'm sure any sites, especially search sites, pointing to us whose webmasters notice this will do the same. jim
