Need help finding a PDF of a public domain book

[Bohandas]

Can anybody help me track down an unexpurgated PDF of E.A. Wallis Budge's 1895 translation and transliteration of the Egyptian Book of The Dead?

A PDF should be around since it was published long enough ago to be in the public domain, but none of the digital files match my print copy. In my print copy the translation is accompanied by both a reprint of the heiroglyphics and a phonetic transliteration. However I have been unable to find an online copy which reprints the transliteration, and most copies omit the heiroglyphics as well.

Can anybody direct me to a complete downloadable copy?

PDFs don't make themselves. Just because something could exist doesn't mean it does.

That one has the heiroglyphics but is missing both the translation and the transliteration

Fair enough. Can you give me any advice on a good way to scan or photograph my copy without messing the binding up?

EDIT: And can you recommend an app or program for transforming the scans/photos into a PDF?

Have you searched the Library of Congress? They were/are digitizing old books as well…

No clue on saving the binding.
But - my linux PC's drivers for my Epson flatbed scanner include a 'Save as PDF' option.

You might be able to rig up something to hold a camera over your book and take pictures of each page. Will probably wind up with jpg files but at least it would be digital.
