It's twenty years later in Christchurch, and another revolutionary vehicle quietly makes its entrance ... meet New Zealand's first electric truck! Delivery man Mr O'Hare bets a hot pie that his petrolÂengine truck can beat Mr Harris's electric vehicle. Who will win the race?

Beware: NOT the complete treatise.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
The translation is fairly good and then ... you come to note on pg 70 that says basically, "Oh, did we tell you that we skip all of Questions 101 through 104 and large parts of 100 and 105?"
Nope. So you do NOT get the entire "Treatise on Law" -- and they hide that fact. (I have seen other translations, but never have I seen one that excludes any of the questions.
Now I'm stuck with an incomplete version. Thanks.
One last thing: the paper quality is poor. Just about any pen you use for annotations will bleed through. The paper is CHEAP.
