A very special copy that Wilbur gave to his dear wife, Danielle, who was dying from brain cancer. When I saw this book for sale, I contacted Wilbur, and, sure enough, he confirmed what I thought: namely, it had been stolen from him.
Here is what he told me:
Thanks so much for this. The copy must have been stolen from my library.
I have managed to get it back.
All best wishes,
Wilbur
