Abridged Version
3By heyadolI guess I should have looked at the page count, but since it isn't labeled on the cover or in the description (as of this writing) I will tell you that this book is abridged. It includes only the first 17 of 54 chapters. The other version in the store, by Penguin Books, is also abridged, you can see the word on the cover if you look carefully. The content is great though, worth the read. I just wish I could read the whole thing! Maybe someday it will make it to the iBook store, until then I guess I'm hunting down a paperback...
