Anyone feel like collaborating on a modernization of the public-domain classic "Calculus Made Easy"?

The 1914 edition is, well, from 1914, so it features a speckling of archaisms like pre-decimal British currency. Martin Gardner made an updated edition in the 1990s, but that update is copyrighted, and I think he adds a little too much material.

@bstacey I don't have time these days, but I do love the straightforwardness of most old books. The fact that they publish inferior calculus books every couple of years is just sickening. The subject hasn't changed much in a few hundred years. I can't remember any of my calculus classes getting through 100% of any book. Too much bloat to get through in a semester. Think I'll browse through this one!
