I checked the epub. Firefox doesn't display the svgs, because of the file extension of the html page in which they are embedded. The pages are named *.html, if you rename them to *.xhtml, the svgs are displayed. In my opinion it should also work with the html extension, but I don't know what the Firefox developers reason for this behaviour is .

I checked additionally the svg code:
Code:
<svg:svg viewBox="0 0 600 800">
<svg:image xlink:href="images/9781841541006_FrontCover.jpg" 
transform="translate(0 0)" width="600" height="800" />
</svg:svg>
Why does the author not use a simple <img> tag for this? If I were him, I would do this anyway, because I guess that there are many epub reader out there, which don't support svg.
