The precis is, by its nature, shorter than it should be; the book gives more precise definitions and gives a defence of that set of constraints over others. I don't have the book on hand at the moment, as it's in the university library.

The book itself is more concerned with the neurology; the precis is more a quick overview of claimed results for other philosophers.
