Screenshots of mostly-text web pages, compressed to JPEGs, pasted into a Word document, printed to hardcopy in two-level greyscale, annotated with a rubber stamp (or typewriter?), scanned again at low dpi, converted to PDF (39 MB), and drop-published into an unnavigable /_files/ folder, all towards its goal of teaching internet literacy to others.

My guess is it was faxed (or poorly photocopied).

Wow, ancient web history. I suspect it was already outdated when it was written...

you nearly took a line out of the book. Third paragraph, page five,

"I cannot emphasize strongly enough that this book was already out of date by the time it was published"
