Feel free to download, and then host it. It's not my property in any way. I downloaded it some time ago for home use, since then the host is no longer available. I don't have access to a personal web server, so I posted it up at some free space on geocities. If you are willing to host it, I believe the community would be greatful.
good luck.

I'm not sure about the version, it seems a bit dated, but still pertitnent. As far as I can tell it follows the online book.

This book is dated, it is 4 years old , so some commands on it are obsolete, such as xf86config , which is now xorgconfig, also I wish Slackware would release a more in depth Slackware book, because the essentials, is just to get basic setup, also in slack10 compiling the kernel is a little different, and so the steps in the current Essentials book, is also dated.
