Where can I get a copy of Jeffrey Steingarten's Beijing Restaurant Guide?

I found it a few days ago off Google but now it appears Vogue online has pulled the PDF file (previously here.

If you aren't fussy about your file format, google it, and click on the "view as html." I found it on google with the search "site:style.com steingarten beijing" but I'm sure there are many other equally successful permutations.

In case you are picky, I just made a PDF of it and am about to mail it to you. Anyone else who wants one can request one...

Hmm, whatzit, that search isn't giving me any results. Maybe they took it down just now!

MSN Live Search still has a cached HTML copy; search for same string as google one provided above.

I took a look at the guide and it is rather... lackluster. There are ony a few restaurants in there, and they are all well-known and well-overpriced by Chinese standards. Any guidebook like the Lonely Planet will likely provide you with more or less the same list.
