He makes new acquaintances with writers and publishers in Europe ; renews friendships which will stand him in good stead in times of poor health ; and rediscovers the bonds of family and old Eastwood friends. The volume provides annotation identifying persons and allusions, and includes a biographical introduction, illustrations, a full chronology and index.
