I used a freeware tool "Unarchiver" to unzip the file on my Mac (the built-in unzip utility didn't like the file, for some reason).

Thanks, Fireproof. I actually did try that after a Google search, but it didn't work for me. It only made the weird-format file that the zip turned into appear inside of a folder.

It's okay, Bonobo gave me the e-pub file, and now I can read it on my little Android tablet's e-reader program next time nobody but me turns up for Go club. :D

Thanks to everybody for preserving the excellent book of Milton Bradley in the public domain!
I have recently found out that the original webpage (containing a bunch of great essays on go and critical thinking as well) is not available. It was temporary unavailable before, too.
Anybody has a copy of other stuff from the site?
-- Thanks!

That page must have disappeared very recently. It is less than a month since I was looking at it. Has the content been preserved anywhere or did the domain just expire? It has been three years since Milt died so maybe it was just paid that far in advance.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Too sad. But …

Not me, but … thank heavens for archive.org and the wayback machine, click July 17 (2012) :-)

HTH, Tom

And here’s a link to the archived version of the page mentioned in the OP, from May 16, 2013.
