It is a fantastic accounting. This monumental volume has beautiful green cloth covers with sharp gold lettering on the spine. Foreward by Dale L. Morgan, done about 2 months before his death. Book comes with a flyer advertising the book that is soon to be published and offering a discounted pre-publication bargain price of $11.75, three dollars less than its initial trade price of $14.75.
