Well, ere I go again. I picked up this book a week ago; it had a rating of excellent, almost no errors. Rite! I got through the first 118 pages, and from that point, it is a cross-word puzzle, with an occasional clear paragraph just to spice things up. I know that in releasing it back to the download page, all the changes I have made will be erased, but, at this point I'm not willing to go through 1200 pages of guesswork. As for my picking up long books, I would have been glad to have validated this one if I didn't think it needs a complete re-scan. My appology to whomever scanned it originally, but it certainly doesn't deserve an excellent rating. If I see a new scan of this book on the download page, I'll be happy to take it up again; but for now, it's Harry Potter for me. ha! ha! Peace, Ernie
