To the best of the reviewer's knowledge N. J. Kalton was the first who observed that many results of the local theory of Banach spaces can be extended to the quasi-Banach spaces, but his first note on this matter remained unpublished. Such extensions are of interest not only because they provide us with more general results, but also because the original Banach-space-case proofs substantially used convexity and duality. Important results on such extensions were obtained by J. Bastero, J. Bernués, S. J. Dilworth, Y. Gordon, N. J. Kalton, D. R. Lewis, A. Litvak, V. D. Milman, A. Pajor and A. Peña. See the paper [\textit{Y. Gordon} and \textit{N. J. Kalton}, Bull. Sci. Math., II. Sér. 118, No. 5, 441-453 (1994; Zbl 0821.46001)], and the references in the paper under review. The purpose of the paper under review is to extend the finite-dimensional version of Krivine's theorem. The mentioned version was found by \textit{D. Amir} and \textit{V. D. Milman} [Isr. J. Math. 50, No. 1-2, 1-12 (1985; Zbl 0612.46021)]. Roughly speaking, this version is devoted to conditions under which a finite sequence in a normed space has a sequence of blocks that is very close to the unit vector basis of \(\ell^n_p\). The result of D. Amir and V. D. Milman was later improved by \textit{W. T. Gowers} [Isr. J. Math. 68, No. 2, 193-219 (1989; Zbl 0716.46015)]. The present author proves a quasi-Banach version of these results of D. Amir, V. D. Milman and W. T. Gowers. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0911.00007].
