Ramana,
From Shyam's link above download the tif file. For reading purpose it is the best bet as it is like reading the book itself. The disadvantage is you will not be able to copy and paste here or in any other document.
If you want to convert it to MS Word document, here is what you have to do:
1) Open the tif file using Microsoft Office Document Imaging
2) Depending on the version you are using, either from Tools or File menu use "Send Text To Word..." option. It will take some time and uses the inbuilt OCR to convert the tif to doc file. The main disadvantage with the OCR tools is they never convert accurately. There will be a lot number of spelling mistakes or words getting cutoff etc.
All the formats that they hosted are the ones converted using OCR from the TIF format. I have extracted the text files from tar and I also converted the TIF to doc file. There are too many spelling mistakes and jumbled words in the text.
If you think this is too much work for you drop an email at muppi at indiatimes dot com. I will send the doc and combined text files.
