How badly do you want this?

The original up on Archive.org is a scan of the pbook. The other formats are all generated from scan and OCR, with all the mistakes OCR makes still there.

Your options appear to be download the PDF, OCR and do extensive editing/proofreading/formatting, then convert to ePub, or download one of the other versions and skip the OCR step.

In any case, you're looking at a fair bit of work to come up with something usable. Are you up for it?
