- Notes
- The book that made "seashells" a byword among a generation of American students -- Piper's image of a retirement spent collecting them as the picture of a wasted life. The chapter list here is transcribed from Crossway's own PDF of the current printing, whose preface is dated 2017; the chapters are unchanged from this 2003 first edition, but the preface is not.
