The within-text links don't seem to work in this book.
In particular, they're of the form
  <a name="#chap1">.  The # sign should be used in the hrefs
  (e.g. <a href="#chap1">Go to chapter 1</a>), but
  *not* at the destination; it should be just <a name="chap1"> there.)

If you fix these, you might also want to change them to use id attributes,
since the <a name=""..> construct is deprecated in recent HTML standards
in favor of element IDs, standardized in 1999 with HTML 4.01.
So instead of something like

<a name="chap1"></a><h2>THE STAR-EYED DEIRDRE</h2>

you'd simply have

<h2 id="chap1">THE STAR-EYED DEIRDRE</h2>

This will serve as a valid link target in any browser that's
been released in last 10 years or so.  But whether or not you
use it, or the old name construct, the #s should be taken out
of the destination elements.

Thanks!

John
