Yes, I have it in electronic format. I also have two copies in dead-tree format of
The Madman and the Professor and I thought I had but can't find a
History of the English Language which was damn interesting to me.
However, since I just looked that title up in Amazon, (and I have no idea why this showed up in the search results, but) I just found
The Hittites: The Lost Empire of the Ancient World, for $0.99 which, at 59 pages can't be really
that comprehensive, but still looks interesting enough and may feed into my research for a story I've been developing.
