It's a good book, written in a very accessible style. I often dip into it randomly before confession. It's a mystery to me why someone hasn't posted a pdf of it online. I'm not an expert, but any copyright should be expired by now.
Okay, that's fine, sin is a perennial, right and wrong never changes.  I'll take a look at it, if I can find a PDF or similar.

I think one should consider the intent of the author, he wrote the book to help save souls not to earn money.  If he could have given it away for free at the time I'm sure he would have.

I think I understand what you are getting at; Fr. Hockenmeier wouldn't object to it being distributed for free.
I did a bit of research and the first and second editions are out of copyright protection, so anyone could post a copy online without legal repercussions.

:

1) Unlike a particular (ie., regular) confession, it is not necessary to confess all your sins in a general confession, if you have already confessed them before.  Some people use a general confession just to confess a handful of their most humiliating or most serious lifetime sins;


This is not correct.  The first general confession must be for sins committed since attaining the age of reason or since baptism.  Any general confessions after that should begin with sins committed since the previous general confession.
You cannot just "pick and choose" during a general confession.  Otherwise, this is simply a normal confession where you are confessing some past sins.
