Note: All chapters are distributed as PDF files; to read them, you need Adobe Reader (formerly known as Adobe Acrobat) or compatible software. Some browser/acrobat combinations have problems reading the documents directly from the site; if you experience this, try saving the chapter to disk before opening it in Acrobat (right click + save + open usually works best). This electronic edition differs somewhat from the printed version. The design is based on the current codespit.com style, and the content is based on a late draft, not the published edition.
