About this Item

Blue paperback of 271 pp. with index. Very limited underlines and highlighting. This book is full of big words which apparently suggest complicated meanings and concepts. I suggest consulting the internet reviews to determine whether or not you might understand enough of it to be helpful. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
