I believe the third volume is especially rare because the second world war prevented reprints, or something like that. I may be wrong. I've had my eyes open for an affordable copy for years and never found one. Can't tell you what's in it. I've seen a copy, but it was in a locked bookcase... -- Rodger Whitlock Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Maritime Zone 8, a cool Mediterranean climate on beautiful Vancouver Island
