This book was automatically generated by a machine scanning an old version and attempting to convert the scanned pages into text (called OCR). Unfortunately the publisher doesn't proof read what comes out of their machine so the book is full of typos. So far about 20 in the first 10 pages.
The publisher justifies this by saying that you can get access to a downloadable copy of the original which doesn't have typos. If I wanted to download the book I would have done that. I actually wanted a printed copy without typos. Is that too much to ask for? Apparently it is for this publisher. Lazy, lazy, lazy...

The quality of the automated text creation is so poor that makes the book unreadable. For example, how could it mistake 'London' as 'Xondon'? Avoid. Very disappointed.
