Typographic conventions in the book:
The book uses ligatures for ff fi fl ffi ffl; I have simply spelled these out.
Chapter N is in italics.
The chapter titles are in small caps.
The first word of each chapter has an oversize capital, and the rest of the word is in small caps. If the first word is two letters or less, the second word is also in small caps.
AM and PM are always in small caps, as A.M. or P.M.
All these have been changed to PG standards.
