The book is especially valued for its clear distinction between (what to test) and test execution (how to test), and for the extensive examples that illustrate each technique.

by Boris Beizer is a classic text in the field of software quality and testing. Because it is still under copyright, I can’t provide a direct download of the PDF, but I can point you toward a few legitimate ways to obtain or access the book:
