This is an experiment to compare different formats for the
distribution of the text of this book, on the WWW. The text
is taken from the 1979 Edition of the Book, with permission
of the copyright holder.
Whole Book
The whole text of the book can be downloaded for convenient
off line reference. The navigation is slightly different in the
two versions. The PDF file provides a series of bookmarks, to
each major and minor section; to see these it is often necessary
to select the show navigation pane in your viewer.
The DjVu uses hyperlinks in the scanned contents pages; these
become visible if you place your pointer over a major or minor heading,
and upon selection take you to the approriate place in the text.

Free viewers for both of these formats may be found at the
corresponding websites. The DjVu format has the advantage of
providing very high compression without seriously degrading the
image quality, and the output files are most suitable for
printing. It is an AT&T spinoff product, and viewers
exist for most platforms, including an open-source Unix
implementation. Visually the quality looks identical to the
much larger Acrobat files, so I would encourage downloading the
DjVu plug in and using the much smaller DjVu files.
