Santiago material follows, with two blank pp, photo of Wheeler at age 63, title page, blank, preface, table of contents (Xi chaps over 78 pp), then two blank. B&w photo. Condition notes: a nice copy of a solid reprint. Moderate wear, a few closed tears to dj, price sticker to back. Volume unmarked (but n.b. the inclusion of the earlier edition's hand notes have been included in printing); tight and square. We personally inspect every book we offer.
