The book, Introduction to Probability, by Charles M. Grinstead and J. Laurie Snell, is 510 pages long. The ebook is made available by the courtesy of Penn State University.

There was a previous edition, the first edition. This is the second (revised) edition, which appears to be the most recent one. It was published in 2012.

There is no digital version available at Amazon. The least expensive physical copy is $42.00, and it's used.

Ratings for this edition of the book are hard to come by, but the ones that there are are outstanding. The first edition receives a 4.8 star rating at Amazon, but from only 6 reviews. There is only one rating at GoodReads, a 5.00.

Maybe this book will be of benefit to someone. It would be great if someone needed this as a textbook in college next semester or quarter. It would save him/her at least $42.00 at today's prices. Or maybe someone is taking or will soon be taking probability and would like another text to use to get a different approach to the principles. I can picture some highly self-disciplined person using it, too, to teach himself/herself probability.

Here's the direct link to the ebook.

Will I be downloading it and saving it? Mathematically-challenged me? Probably not. ha
