Thanks. Presumably it would need a broadband connection to be a
practical download?

Downloaded it this evening. Around 18 MB, 405 pages. So ... yes I

Great to have this online, thanks to original poster for the

Excellent - just grabbed some much wanted Arctic exploration tomes too...

I went back for Blanford's _A practical guide to the climates and
weather of India, Ceylon and Burmah ..._. I used to look it over at
