  It's not a single page.

  This may help: https://github.com/yan7109/yan7109.github.io/tree/main/ma-book https://github.com/yan7109/yan7109.github.io/tree/main/ma-bo... Though I'd rather download a PDF or ePub. I would say that the current format is a 'book' in content, but not a 'book' nor an 'e-book' in form, as you can't manipulate it as a single object. But I've seen a few other examples here on HN where people showed off a 'book' purely as a website.

    As I shared in a comment above, the book is released under a Creative Commons license that does not authorize sharing derived works so only the original author can distribute you an alternative version However I vibe-coded this tool for my personal use with our good friend Claude: https://onetake-ai.github.io/html-ebooks/ https://onetake-ai.github.io/html-ebooks/ Which when pointed at a repository containing an "html book", like https://github.com/yan7109/yan7109.github.io/tree/main/ma-book https://github.com/yan7109/yan7109.github.io/tree/main/ma-bo... will give you an ePub with all the content in one place.

So... the book is released under a Creative Commons license that does not authorize sharing derived works... BUT... If you use this tool I just vibe-coded with our good friend Claude: https://onetake-ai.github.io/html-ebooks/ https://onetake-ai.github.io/html-ebooks/ And point it at the repository: https://github.com/yan7109/yan7109.github.io/tree/main/ma-book https://github.com/yan7109/yan7109.github.io/tree/main/ma-bo... It will give you an ePub with all the chapters, including a bit of styling etc. The code is MIT licensed, so do with it as you wish.

I enjoyed reading the first few chapters, but wanted a PDF as well. I run browserless.io, so threw a quick script together to PDF-ify this. Gist is here: https://gist.github.com/joelgriffith/0e6a2a774317e845206ca8d107969550 https://gist.github.com/joelgriffith/0e6a2a774317e845206ca8d.... You can pretty much just create a free plan and run this in our debugger, which will compile the chapters and return PDF. Pretty fun little challenge.
