Limited copies are available at Esperanto House for people wishing to give them to curious friends and family members. You can also download it as a PDF (600 KB). Please note: If you have a printer that automatically prints double-sided, you may need to flip the second page in a PDF program before printing. If any Esperantists in other states (or countries) would like to print their own version, please message us.
