The version I found on Google says 'Second Edition' which seems to be 
1986 ("The Purple Dragon Book").

It looks like the universities (Bremen, Stanford) put it online for 
their students, but why it has gone public is strange, except if the 
author has accepted to have the book in both forms. I know of at least 
one other example where this is the case indeed (a study book of Old 
English grammar).
