    • The text ends on page 234. Page [235] is blank, page [236] has an author biography, page [237] is blank, and pages [238] to [240] are blank other than the heading "Notes". The inside of the front cover follows page [240] and is an author essay titled "How I Came to Write this Guidebook" which is dated "Autumn 2006". This essay is about how the 1996 edition came about and does not explain how or why the Guidebook was revised for the 2006 edition.
    • While I marked this as Transient Verified it is likely I can retrieve it for verification questions as the copy I verified was from a public library. ~Marc Kupper
