Hi everyone,

I bought the Finnish PDF after developing a more urgent need for it. It's at Zshare for anyone who wants it (and hopefully available for download from this site, too).

I am trying to get a copy of the Finnish Graded Reader, too.

Many thanks to Glen and all others who have helped make this site such a success.

Thanks much for making this available, flutable.  A number of people have written in asking for this, and, if I understand correctly, there's been some reluctance to post it on this site due to possible copyright concerns regarding the illustrations.  So your making it available will greatly help those who've been seeking the book.  Kiitos!

Did you get the text from NTIS?

Be careful about the illustrations. Indeed a lot of them in the book are copyrighted. If I were you, I'd blot them out before scanning it.

Good point, Chung :S...I'd completely forgotten about that. I've removed the file, and will redact all copyrighted material.

Sorry about this...I should have checked it first.

Not a problem. Somewhere in the first few pages of the textbook there's a list of all of its copyrighted illustrations which it licensed from various sources. Also make sure that you got the text from the US government rather than a third-party which may have put a copyright notice on the text.

I don't think that you'd feel very good about a call from someone issuing a cease-and-desist order or worse.

OK, I should have this finished by the end of the weekend. In future I might try to create my own versions of some of the illustrations, since they ARE quite relevant to the text. No idea when I'll have time to do this though :(

Do you have a new link for the Finnish pdf.  I bought the pdf as well, but every other page is upside down, so it is a pain in the neck to use.

Hi everyone,
 
I'm in the middle of exams, so I haven't had time to fully redact the text yet.
 
Have no fear, I will get on to it mid next week, and will re-post the PDF soon.
 
I will be doing the same for the workbook, which is on its way from NTIS.
 
And I'll be in Finland in early 2009, so I'll add some royalty-free photos of my own :)
