This is, sadly, a classic example of what used to be called "Vanity Publishing". The major parts of a 'customary' book are missing (Introduction, facts about the author, etc.) but moreover, the pictures which were (clearly) destined to appear do not. Instead, an entry titled "Pictures" lists them all. Not very helpful for elaborating on this series of unrelated encyclopedia-like entries which fall far short in the field of scholarship or research. Some entries look like they were cribbed from current websites and there's no compelling reason to buy or use this particular book. Even the spine is completely blank. It's really sad. Unless this is your first day learning about Freemasonry, it'd doubtful you'll find much of value and you'd be far better off with a "Dummies" or "Idiots" volume for much more comprehensive knowledge which has at least been written with a purpose.
