I just downloaded the book and tried to convert it to epub with calibre. However, calibre seems not to be able to convert this format. Is there any other way for me to make this readable?

Thanks for bringing this to the group's attention, lila. I had the same problem.
I read this in 1974, and have been recommending it ever since. I'd like to read it again! |
