I've painstakingly typed in the Prelude & FIRST CHAPTER of the book into my computer, my computer scanner is crap when trying to span in the the pages of the book it blacks out where the pages connect into the spine (middle of the open book) and I press the book as flat as I can.
whilst you may OWN a copy of the book, i dont think that gives you the right to reproduce it in digital format without the authors/publishers consent as that would be breaking copyright law.
Distributing on the internet is not part of your fair use. I wouln't be surprised if the publisher contacts you and/or the owner of this website regarding this.
Basically, you have uploaded a pirated copy of somebody elses work to abovetopsecret.com's server making you and the website owners liable.

Under FAIR USE I have every right to make a digital copy of it.
not if you are intending to copy the whole book. that is breach of copyright and NOT fair use

hey, I can help you if you'd like. I can have the whole thing completed in 4-8 days. After completing this ebook what do you plan to do with it? If you have a a physical copy why need one online? I will not help reproduce something that will infringe on copyright laws. Get back to me with your explanation and we can talk further.
the last company i worked for were involved with digital rights management so i do know what i am talking about. if YOU personally scan the chapters of the book and use them ONLY for yourself then that is legal but what you did in your first post and what you asked wasn't. hope that clears it up for you
