Be careful with this particular book, though. There is a revised edition of it which has been very widely pirated. This revised edition is NOT in the public domain anywhere, and the US copyright holder is extremely active in tracking down and taking legal action against those who post it illegally. You might be better off starting with something a little less "litigation prone", because of this, especially given the fact that, although the book you have is in the public domain in many countries, you'd technically be breaking copyright law in redistributing it, since it's not in the public domain in the US.

Exactly my plan here. I don't have spare money for lawyers, especially for legal challenges that could be avoided by me paying attention. I also don't want to bring any trouble the MR, as I will mostly likely post my efforts here.
