I think you'll be hard pushed to find it in that format, if there is then you can normally get a copy from Amazon for the Kindle, but nope not available.

I think your best bet would to be to buy the book and scan it :D

Chris Gibbs has not been able to work for some years now. Sales of the book bring him in a bit of income.

I would always urge people to buy the book new rather than secondhand or copied. It isnt expensive.

Well said not anumber. If you look at the Haynes project as a whole just about every supplier has failed to make a sustainable business. It seems to me that every time somebody tries it, somebody else comes along to point out a cheaper supplier that can do the same thing for x pounds less. They then whinge about the quality or the time to supply and forget the low price very quickly. In the mean time the decent suppliers are unable to sustain a decent profit level and all of a sudden nobody can buy anything from anywhere!
I know the Haynes is supposed to be a budget build but trying to deny Chris a few bob after all the hard work he put in is a shitty thing to do.
End of outburst.

There are pirate copies of the book in PDF floating around in the web. I will admit to having used one when the paper one has been in the garage :-)
