This CD-ROM sells for $19.95 on Amazon. The title description indicates that the CD-ROM is published by the U.S. government, which is false and potentially misleading:

The detailed description provides a clarification:

The CD-ROM contains 25 PDF files. Nearly all of the files are readily available on the Internet. A listing of the 25 files, and their original Web locations, where known, is shown below.

Half of the files have nothing or almost nothing to do with "cold fusion." Others are 10 to 17 years old. With the exception of the Navy reports and the 2004 official Department of Energy documents, most of the files seem to have been selected somewhat randomly and do not contribute greatly to an understanding of low energy nuclear reactions.
