It's also Christmas time on the opposite part of the world :-).

I'm sorry to say, bad rather bad news time time. The book is available
only after installation of the compiler and it is in HTML format.
I suppose, that to be OK with the law, you have to at least download
and install the Aonix compiler to use HTML edition. Another solution
is to purchase a printed version, but that may be not a best one, since
you do not know what's inside and whether it will be suitable.
Here is a homepage of Michael Feldman:
http://www.seas.gwu.edu/~mfeldman/
there are some links at the bottom which may be of interest to you,
particularly:
http://www.seas.gwu.edu/~mfeldman/cs1book/
and click there "Introducing Algorithms: Adventures of the Spider" 
to get a sample from the book.

you may find another tutorial by Michael Feldman.

You're welcome.


Merry Christmas to everyone,
