Subject: Great book, but not being downloadable makes it difficult to keep reading
Subject: Great book, but not being downloadable makes it difficult to keep reading
Unfortunatly I couldn't read much of the book, because I have trouble to read stuff online (and a book so big is even harder). It would be important if there was a way to download it in pdf format to be printed. It's a really important book, we don't get much that talks about corset without contribuing to all the myths about it being "malleficent to woman". Anyways, PLEASE MAKE IT DOWNLOADABLE.
