The pdf I found is here:
http://members.aol.com/kabrenn/MenAmongtheRuins.pdf
It's not an actual scan of the book, but some kind of text dump. As
though it's been run through some other type of book-reader software
first. The text is in quite good shape though, apart from the
problems I mentioned.
As far as copyrights go, I think most people are proceeding on the
basis of the "fair use" doctrine. You know, like you have in
libraries when you photocopy books. I've yet to hear of anybody
getting in any kind of legal trouble over posting old books online.
Undoubtedly there are a handful of such cases, but it's not something
I'm worried about. I think it's more important to make these books
available. If it's ok for jews to steal books off library shelves,
then it's ok for me to put Word versions on my internet site. All's
fair, as they say.
