Nice! I'd seen the scanned pdf version of the first
edition, but this one is html, meaning someone scanned
and then OCR'd the whole thing... So much easier to
read, and better for searching than the pdf type where
they scan, and then just convert to pdf.

One thing that's not so nice about it is that the
entire book is all on a single page... making it a bit
unwieldy.
