...At NTIS, Multilingual Books or a university library.

According to the status page, Malcolm is scanning the textbooks that go with the Finnish audio, so sit tight.

I took a look at this book at the library.  It has over 700 pages.  Some of the pages will need to be removed since they are copyrighted.  This is probably a good example where buying the book is probably better than waiting for the PDF file.

It's $70 from NTIS:

Here's the table of contents:

Here's a page from the book listing the copyrighted portions:

This may not be ideal but it seems to be the cheapest way to get the Finnish text for yourself. There's a site that sells some of the textbooks of FSI courses for download at $25 each. The textbook for FSI Conversational Finnish is available but not the workbook.
