Here is a prettyfied PDF version of the text. All the quotes were corrected, the emphasis added where needed, and a nice Palatino font used all around. This version is ready to be printed on A4 paper, double-sided, landscape and bound on the left side. This way you can get three sheets of paper in a row, fold them through the middle, and have a nice looking book. I can make other versions if needed.

I have stripped out the 80 column linefeeds, reduced the detault font size slightly and concatenated the txt files into a single .lit file for one-click loading.
