There was an e version that was sold on Kindle, but I am not sure whether
they still sell it or whether it is something that is in line with
copyright restrictions.  It is part of a volume called Virginia Woolf:
Complete Works  8 Novels... etc. etc.  I would not necessarily trust the e
version to pass scholarly muster, but it is useful for searching and then
double checking with a reliable print source.

All best,
Madelyn
