Adobe Acrobat Reader8.0 is required for more recently posted pdf s.

When two download options are available, the smaller file size provides clear text, but the photographs, if any, are inferior. The larger file size provides acceptable text and improved photographs. In both cases, viewing is better on a printed copy. Where available, TOC (Table of Contents) is directed to a page that permits selective passages to be downloaded independently.
