175 pages. In addition to author's signature, this book bears the printed name "Jan Pullinger" on the front flyleaf. Ms. Pullinger and her husband, Dale Lovick, were MLAs and prominent Cabinet Ministers during the NDPs two terms of power in British Columbia in the 1990s. The underlining and marginalia are presumbably those of Ms. Pullinger.
