Due to some advanced layout options, this book will only be available in ePub and PDF. This has already been posted in LRF (without the illustrations)

PS: This PDF should be readable quite nicely in 1:1 for all of the hardware readers (5" - 6" and bigger). This PDF is also tagged and is reflowable but loses the (nice) layout this way. Please let me know what you think (especially concerning the text size)
