No binding. Condition: Very Good. PREFATORY NOTE: Why no EIGHTH edition? Consider our guide to be a sponge, soaking up the available information on the subject. Eventually, there will be so little new content that to justify a new edition would require a minimum of 15% new content, in the case of our book that would be about 875 pieces of information. The likelihood that that quantity has come into existence since the Seventh Edition was published in 2012 is unlikely. So our Seventh Edition remains the definitive scholarship on this subject.
