✦ Synopsis

PLEASE NOTE!
At the time of this writing, the Amazon Kindle store displays the third edition cover of this text, and when purchased it is the third edition cover that appears in the kindle library... HOWEVER the actual text is the FIRST edition. Caveat Emptor. I've notified Amazon of this (and received a reply) but until they change the cover image, just be sure you realize what you're purchasing.
