SUMMARY- I searched in vain for a copy that had an intact dust jacket - I have yet to see one in 15 years of searching, so I'm guessing it wasn't issued with a jacket. She did hand write the title on the spine and sign it, so there is that. You get an enormous amount of information in this book - you'll need to browse the Table of Contents to get the idea. This is what I think of as a tossed salad book. There's no real organization of chapters, and even within chapters you get a menagerie of information as it occurred to write it down - it's actually quite fun to read that way. She was such a knowledgable person, and we are all lucky that she was willing to share.
