This build checked the served file against this digest and checked the recorded page-map arithmetic. The source inventory is navigation metadata, not the original text.
What is on each printed page
Each page link opens the scan at that page, with or without JavaScript. With JavaScript, a passage below turns the viewer above to the page where it begins, and a passage that runs onto another page links to each page it is on.
