Reading a marketplace book

I just got  a book and I have been trying to read it. However, I can't figure out how! I got Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting and it comes with a new Class/Sublcass and races. I just can't find any of that because the Tamer Class isn't an option through the compendium tools. I was able to search it but I got text with starting gold and hit dice, but that's basically it.  I was wondering if there is a way to basically READ the book, page by page, through Roll 20?

Hi Dustin! Readability depends on how the compendium author has set it up. That's not a Roll20 converted module/sourcebook, so it probably doesn't follow the formal Roll20 presentation. In general, when a book is converted, the bulk of it is accessible through a table of contents page, and forward back links. However, spells and monsters (and often classes) will be separated out into those parts of the compendium. This is to facilitate in-game drag and drop, since they are formatted data behind the scenes. There's no option to read "cover to cover" like you would a PDF. To my knowledge, this is how all of the online sourcebooks work on DnDBeyond, and other VTTs (I could be wrong, but it makes sense from a utility point of view). IN any case, if it's an official Roll20 conversion, you should have all of the material available from the print version, just not in a continuous text flow. For that book, the table of contents is here . Clicking on that will show a link to the classes here . It looks like there are a lot of varieties of the Tamer class, but the first one I clicked on looked pretty complete.
okay, that's pretty sad that I can't read it from page to page or sectionally. Thanks though
