# THE BOOK
A Gutenberg classic for book-lovers on the web. Read the book here.
[](https://bubblin.io/about)
[
](https://bubblin.io)
This book uses the [Superbook](https://bubblin.io/docs/format) format and is brought to you by [Bubblin](https://bubblin.io/about)—The Book Publishing Company for The Web.
Date of publication: November 26, 2019
### TABLET FIRST & OFFLINE FIRST
Superbooks are naturally responsive and work on all browsers, all viewports and devices and all operating systems. See support information [here](https://bubblin.io/support) and the full list of supported devices [here](https://bubblin.io/devices). In general, the most ideal surface to read these books on (recommended) are the \~9" tablets like the iPad or the Galaxy Tab or Kindle Fire HD, ala 'on-web'.
This book is _offline-first_. Is uses a Service Worker under the hood, so no explicit download is required to read or share the book OFFLINE.

### THE MANUSCRIPT, ala this repo.
The manuscript on this repo has been generated programmatically using [Bookiza Abelone](https://bookiza.io), [h2s](https://github.com/bookiza/h2s) and a few other sanitization libraries.
:point_right: As part of the vocabulary of publishing with Bookiza, this git repo is the `manuscript` whereas the 'consumer-ready' distributable form i.e. `book` is hosted _live_ on the url at the top.
### GOING FULLSCREEN
To be able to read the book in [fullscreen mode](https://bubblin.io/blog/fullscreen-api-ipad), please try the following steps:
- Open the book on iOS (> 12.00) Safari
- Tap the `...` button at bottom right of the screen to open Superbook controls.
- Tap `⤮` on the top right (middle button) to go fullscreen.
iPadOS Safari v12.0 and above only.
