This is the place to get the Collected Papers of Peirce in electronic form, as well as a number of other collections of philosophical texts. (Click on the "title" button on the vertical bar on the left of the screen to go to the list of available materials.) The prices are good (not much more than a hundred dollars for the Collected Papers the last time I checked) and the quality of the text is always professional level as regards both skill and scholarly scruples. Get the WIN or MAC version rather than the DOS: the interface is much better. If you have to choose between the eight-volume paper edition of the Collected Papers (supposing you can find an available copy) and this electronic version, you will almost certainly want the latter if you are interested in the content rather than the wrapper, quite apart from the fact that the out-of-print CP now has a price of a thousand dollars on it! The digitally encoded text leaves the other in the dust as a scholarly tool.
