Come on, don't promote piracy of the book! It's worth buying! Mods, please take down this link.

Hmm, someone downvoted me. Can the downvoter explain what was wrong in what I said?

I believe the book's been out of print for sometime. I've no idea if that's why you were downvoted. I wouldn't post a link to a pirated anything. That pdf is linked from a ton of sites and the site I found it on seemed like a reputable site, though I don't remember which it was at the moment.

Hmm, I did not know that (I have a print copy of that book).

OK. But just in case, someone still wants a physical book, they can get it used from Amazon (can talk about Amazon in US) for ~$3.
