Screen Readable Copy of Hoke's Book

[FrugalRefiner]

About 9 months ago I posted my printer friendly version of Hoke's book. In the process of creating that version I corrected many errors that had been generated by the OCR software when the book was originally digitized. I also rescanned all of the photos and drawings and included some text that had been lost in the original process. Unfortunately, the printer friendly version is cumbersome to read on screen, as the order of the pages is organized for printing, not for reading from the screen. Over the last couple of months, I have corrected some additional errors, tweaked a couple of the images, and written an Introduction to point out some inaccurate and/or outdated information in the book. Since I know many members rely on their screen readable versions of the book, I decided to reformat my version back into a screen readable version so that everyone may benefit from the improvements.

• The page size is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", the same size as those in my 2003 reprint of the book, eliminating all the wasted margin space,
  All of the corrections, rescanned images, and the missing text are included in this version, and
  The Introduction is included in this version.

I've done the best I can to make this an accurate reproduction of the original book with an updated introduction. Everyone who provides links to Hoke's book is welcome to link to this new version.

If anyone finds any errors or omissions, please let me know and I will correct them.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Wow, just had a chance to take a look at your version - The introduction alone inspired me to reread half the book.

Kudos on a job well done, and thanks for your effort!

If you want to print it out, I'd suggest the printer friendly version. There's a link in my signature line below. It will print on half as many sheets of paper as the version in this thread.

Wow! How did I miss this? Thank you so very much! You did an incredible job. It is so much easier on the eyes and brain.

I downloaded both versions, now I need a new ink cartridge. I can't wait to have the cleaned up version in print, great excuse to read it again.

As I sit here printing this off 10 pages at a time - odds then evens... I wonder how many of GRF members have sat here doing the same thing? :mrgreen:
