Thanks for the info. Started to download it but then realized it has Adobe DRM on it. Which if at all possible I try to stay away from. Sometimes its not possible but in this instance it is.

Thanks for posting this though.

Strange: I didn't notice DRM on my copy..

Not free for me...

Why bother? It's in the public domain, and been available right here at MR for free for several years, in a very nice version created by Patricia.

I merely mention it to let people know there's a freebie available - not to recommend the ebook

And all Harry is saying is that it's been free right here, for several years.

And other places-I got my free copy from manybooks.net before I found MR. (But it's good to remind people-I've also *bought* a number of books that I later discovered were available for free. I do try to remember to check, but sometimes I get in a hurry.)
