Holy $h!7 - That book is 650 pages. That is a lot of history.

Amazon's information is incorrect. According to WorldCat and Google Books, the book is 513 pages, not 650. Also, its copyright date should be 1980, not 1979.

Since this is such a burning question — my copy is ©1980 and ends at page 513. I am now desperate to see the 137 pages of shocking censored material from the legendary 1979 edition.
