O.K. I've downloaded it and have it saved as both a word and rtf file. I'll 
re-request the book and will proof it, but I want to finish at least Kind of 
Blue and maybe do Beasst int eh Garden first--though I can work on copyediting 
first if necessary.

Kind of blueis hell. I've never seen a book so badly paginated. The can is 
fine, but the book itself is terribly arranged, and it's taken me quite a while 
to figure  out how to get the various texts on various pages to read 
consecutively and where to stick photo pages and their text so phtocopied pages 
also read conxeccutively. I'm on a roll now, I think, though.
