of course, if you prefer to type in the whole thing, that will work as well.  |
Yeah I did check and couldn't find it anywhere. I don't have a scanner, but even if I did the program presumably would have trouble because each page is illustrated (beautifully, in art nouveau) on the border.
Luckily it's a short book.
If you want to see it here's some piccies:
