You are very welcome, Vanquiz!!
If you are not jumping into the book yet, check back later today as I will post the final version, with fixed-up metadata and the book cover too.
Enjoy!
It should perhaps be noted:
1. This is the Public Domain Lionel Giles translation. There are newer ones, some of which are considered more accurate. Personally I find most of the Giles translation more readable though (excepting a few instances where his word choice feels jarring).
2. The Giles translation was actually written with a wealth of annotations. This PDF does not have them--only the book itself (plus the introduction). Unfortunately most Giles reprints do not do the annotations justice even when they do include them. (The original annotations include Chinese characters, accented characters, and other typographic conventions lazily ignored by reprinters--unless it is a facsimile edition.)
I am actually planning on typesetting anew the full Giles translation, annotations and all. But that won't be done tomorrow. When it is, however, it too will be released as a free PDF, and I will be sure to post about it in the appropriate forum.
