Justin's GitHub states: "MIT just recently took down the book from their own site (why?!)"

It looks like MIT Press released a Javascript version of SICP that is for sale:

I never finished it, but I started porting SICP to HTML5, with an in-browser interpreter:

Hiding things! It is so frustrating to see that.

I have a hard copy of the book though. I couldn't really read, maybe I didn't try harder. English is not my native language.

TLDR; Will get the text, tokenize the words, index against a standard dictionary, go on from there.
