Due to its enormous size (approx 882 + pages with more pictures than I care to count) all of which had to be scanned one page at a time (pictures scanned separately); there will be no text or pdb version. The text alone was over 2 MB in size. IMHO the effort was well worth it as this is a treasure house of knowledge. Unfortunately due to its size I will be breaking the book up into chapters (linked) instead of using the newer method of making one large html file with bookmarks. -Sorry about this- Versions available and duly posted: Format: v1.5 (HTML) Format: v1.5 (Ubook-HTML) Genera: History Extra's: Pictures Included Copyright: 1986 / 1993 Scanned: November 10 2003 Posted to: alt.binaries.e-book (HTML-PIC) alt.binaries.e-book (HTML-UBook) Note: The U-Book version is viewable on PC and PPC (Pocket PC).

A special debt of gratitude is owed to Roger Ling who undertook the main responsibility for the choice of illustrations and the writing of captions from Chapter 13 onwards. The pictures and captions of earlier chapters were chosen and written by John Boardman. Oswyn Murray compiled the Chronological Charts. The index was compiled by Peter Tickler. Many members of the Press have devoted their skills to the creation of this volume, but our principal debt must be to the authors for their patient cooperation. TOC
