Provenance: this book is item #RH015, part of a book trove found in 2009. Reader's Heaven was a used bookstore that closed in Independence Missouri. I purchased the rights to sort through and buy any of the remaining stock of the estimated 22,000 books. In the attic, back rooms and closets, boxes of books were found that had not been opened in decades. None of this stock had ever been offered on Ebay or elsewhere in the online marketplace. Other books from this hoard will follow on Ebay.
