    This has bothered me for a long time. It looks like i'm seeing something other than what other people are seeing. So many of these documents just look awful. In this particular case it does not look good either: http://i.imgur.com/e11d0aK.png http://i.imgur.com/e11d0aK.png http://i.imgur.com/0Ysr7QQ.png http://i.imgur.com/0Ysr7QQ.png Look at the kerning on "Awk", it's not good. And look at the zoomed in version, the characters all have pixelisation and jaggies. These were just viewed using Firefox's default pdf viewer. Is there a way to view them and see better a quality version of the document?

      Given that this is a scan of a book produced on a phototypesetter (no pixels), you probably want a real copy.

        Yeah, it was just surprising to me that people were praising this document.
