Oh shoot, I knew in my search for a link I could share this at (my own digital copy is of less than perfect quality, and is in a format that doesn't allow viewing inside of WWW browsers, so I just picked the one from McIllroy's site) I had missed something. Yeah, absolutely check the fully copy, it's pretty fantastic.

Sending a message to hn@yc to try and get the link changed.

Ok, we've changed from http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~doug/reader.pdf.

i'm glad someone appreciates this.

some people at cat-v.org were interested in this and there happened to be a copy at stanford library where a roommate of mine was working at the time. he borrowed it on my behalf and i used the book scanner at noisebridge in san francisco (constructed from wood and two canon cameras and a python script) to image it, and uploaded it to archive.org.
