I have discovered that there is a web site about Alan Watts: Alan Watts, including several writings.
I have also discovered that there is a web site that discusses Zen somewhat: Zenarchy.
I have not yet thoroughly read the pages on this site - other than to have noted it as one to check in the future.
A reader of my web site pointed out that an article published by Alan Watts in 1973 is available on the web.
The World's Most Dangerous Book. However, I recently checked this link and it was not valid at that time.
Here is a copy of that article: TWMDB.
