Free to read

Read or download the book

Choose the file that suits your device. Both files hold the whole book, and you do not need an account.

Before you download

Each file is over 100 MB. On fast home internet that takes a minute or two. On a slow connection or mobile data it can take 10 minutes or more, and use a large part of a data plan. Use Wi-Fi if you can.

PDF: the printed page

The PDF looks exactly like the printed book, page for page, with the photographs and maps in colour. It is best on a computer, an iPad or a tablet, and you can print pages from it.

The PDF

  1. Tap “Download the PDF” and wait for the download to finish.
  2. Tap Open in the message that appears. The book opens in your phone's PDF viewer.
  3. To find it later, open the Files app and look in Downloads.

The EPUB

Most Android phones have no EPUB reader built in, and Google Play Books may refuse a file this large. On Android, we suggest the PDF.

Kindle

Close

Amazon's Send to Kindle page puts the EPUB on your Kindle. You need a computer and the Amazon account your Kindle uses.

  1. On a computer, download the EPUB.
  2. Go to amazon.com/sendtokindle and sign in with the Amazon account your Kindle uses.
  3. Drag the book file into the box, or click to choose it. Then click Send.
  4. Turn on your Kindle and connect it to Wi-Fi. The book appears in your library within a few minutes. It also appears in the Kindle app on your phone or tablet.

Emailing the file to your Kindle will not work, because Amazon's email route only takes smaller files. Amazon changes the book to its own format; photographs show in black and white on Kindle e-readers.

Kobo or Nook

Close

Kobo and Nook e-readers open the EPUB directly. You need a computer and the USB cable that came with the e-reader.

  1. On a computer, download the EPUB.
  2. Connect the e-reader to the computer with its cable. On a Kobo, tap Connect on its screen.
  3. The e-reader shows up on the computer like a USB stick. Copy the book file onto it.
  4. Eject the e-reader on the computer, then unplug the cable. The book appears in your library.

The PDF

  1. Click “Download the PDF”. The book opens in your web browser or saves to your Downloads folder.
  2. Double-click the file to open it. A Mac opens it in Preview. Windows opens it in Microsoft Edge or your PDF reader.
  3. To print some pages, choose Print from the File menu and enter the page numbers you want.

The EPUB

On a Mac, double-click the EPUB and it opens in the Books app. Windows has no EPUB reader built in, so the PDF is simpler on Windows.
