Hey, where's the free book?

It's here: https://www.academia.edu/6962427/Wittgensteins_Tractatus_A_Students_Edition

The "book" version of the text is slightly different from the blog version, in content as well as format. That is, I once went to edit the "book" version and found that I had already made the change I had in mind, even though I had not altered the blog. I don't remember what other changes I did or did not make, but the "book" version is likely to be more polished than the blog.

This is marvelous. Thanks, Duncan.

I suppose it's too late to make one tiny suggestion? I personally would find it helpful for the commentary to be in a different colour (say, dark blue) to the text itself so that when I'm scrolling through I can more easily tell which of the two I'm looking at.

Obviously this isn't a huge problem, but it's just something I've noticed when using the book.

Anyway, excellent stuff!

Thanks, Philip. That's a good idea--I'll see what I can do (but it might take a while).

Hi, Richter
I don’t see your text, where is it?
But, if you like the Tractatus, tell me what do you think about my recent edition: “The Tractatus According to Its Own Form. Supplements and Other Shavings”, see the preview at http://www.lulu.com/shop/lpaperback/product-21594463.html
Thanks

I'm sorry you can't see the text. The link seems broken for me too. Try this: Tractatus instead.

I like the look of your edition too. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
