The efforts of the chief author of God Save Catalonia! book, Xavier Rubio, have at last come in a happy end, as he has just let me know. This outstanding book on the British intervention in Catalonia between 1705 and 1711 can be finally downloaded in PDF format, in Shakespeare's language. I have just given it a try, and it works!Anyone interested in having the book in his own hard-disk library should follow the following steps: First of all, registering at issuu.com. It's a quite fast process, having into account that you must wait to be sent a confimation e-mail to your given address for your Issuu profile to become active. This usually takes no longer than a few seconds.
Well, let's suppose you're already an Issuu user. According to the directions given to me by Xavier Rubio, now you should click on "My Folders" link (up right) and, once there, create a new folder. Afterwards, you'd be able to "Search" the book by its title ("God Save Catalonia"). Get into the book's own webpage. Done? OK. Please look at the icons just below the book's frontpage: the rightmost one of them is "Download". Well, that's all...According to my own experience, it might be unnecessary to create the new folder as explained before, because such action was intended for loading the selected book into that folder first -so that the downloading operation would have to be done from that folder... But it seems that such intermediate step is dispensable, for I've downloaded it straightly from the book's own webpage.

Thanks Lluis. It looks different around here, very stylish, I should nominate this....just kidding.
Okay here's what I did. I decided forget signing up for hard copy I just want PDF--no dice, it forced me to sign up create profile username password age sex agree to terms agree to be on their list and they want your name attached to that--it is not required to give true info this is for marketing--you decide what you want them to know about you--true e-mail required for confirmation first then you are a member-- and then the PDF download worked perfectly.
@Lluis thank you and thanks to Xavier Rubio.
Bravo! Brilliant!!
PS. I lied about my sex, age, and as much else as I could think of - do you think I will end up in jail?? :o)
