There's a pdf on tpb, so there should be a legitimate version somewhere.


I have the original as hardcover, but also wanted to be able to read on the go on the iPad, so I downloaded the ebook.

It's a scan with OCR. Unfortunately the OCR is bad on many parts of the page - random occurences of %, ' and other characters are common. Also some words are totally unreadable.

Overall, I still read sometimes on the iPad, but having to go back to the hardcover if I'm totally lost.


I just noticed that after I downloaded. Pretty unfortunate.

Oh well, one more dead tree won't hurt anyone.


Just because there is a PDF (or ePub etc.) of a book exists doesn't mean there is an official ebook. Some pirates scan books and either upload those each-page-is-one-image pdfs or (worse) they OCR these images andc upload that text.
