Damn it'd be a shame if someone DM'ed me the name of the book and I had to go looking to see if there's an epub/pdf version available for download in certain places. A real shame indeed.

    I don't care saying what book it is right here, because I've looked for both and came up wanting. It's not available normally as an ebook for purchase, so I have my doubts.

    Basically, the IA had it because they scan in masses of texts without even caring what they are. As long as they get a copy and it isn't in the archive yet, they'll scan it in.

    FWIW, it's pretty amusing.

    Oh thats a super off the wall book. It barely exists anywhere let alone an ebook. I stand corrected and humbled.

    You rock! Thanks for the link. This is the sort of thing that'd be cool to mirror... Wonder how big it is?

    Anna's Archive has some torrents they ask people to seed. I'm seeding a smaller one right now. You can look into that if you want to help out—nobody's expected to mirror the entire archive!
