Seller's Description:
Very Good. Good lean sturdy copy. Blue cover, variant design, 388 pages, does not state "Complete" but nowhere does it state "abridged" or "expurgates". Most interesting, the cover has a significant misprint. It says "Robert A. Lowie" on cover, but "Robert H. Lowie" on title page. EA Anthro.
