Snowy Christian ,

I want to buy it….. but

The original book I had of this was great, but I cannot check it’s the same as it does not show me a list of the people or anecdote titles in the sample. If there is no such index I cannot peruse the book. I am not willing to spend nearly £15 unless I get to see the index. Can apple please arrange an index so we can check it out, and know it is there, otherwise it looks like we have to wade through it pot luck. I remember a funny anecdote about William Blake for instance, but the search facility came up with nothing on the sample.
