DESCRIPTION:
"Where's the beef--or at least the rest of the story" according to Pursuingknowledgeandperspectives. The main story, Pygmalion, is why you'd buy the book, collection. But surprise, it's cut off. Not the whole story. No warning in the title, like "excerpts." Disappointing. Thrift store now.
