Are you sure? You should send the information to the publisher to make
sure. Occasionally publishers release books for download, long before the
copyright normally would run out.

The book has been mentioned several times on this list, but now that I have
seen it, I am not impressed. But then my main interest is in learning, and
teaching, Biblical Hebrew to the best of my understanding, not in being a
scholar in what all these other people said about the language (much, if
not most, of which is wrong, at least of the sections I have seen so far).
Hence I would not buy it for myself, nor recommend it for students whose
interest is, like mine, merely the reading and understanding the text in
its original languages.

However, if your interest is in learning what others said about the
language, it looks like a good reference book.
