PDF online for free since its public domain I guess. Either way its a good link and a legible. Now just need to use up someone's printer ink/toner to get it copied...haha.

This novel is really great shit that speaks to masculinity and the dreams of men. It sort of goes with Tarzan in that respect. Must read.

Its making me want to read/listen to it on audible eve more when I see remarks about how racist and sexist it is or the author was! haha. I've never read it though. Tarzan that is. Seems like a story right up my alley.
