Item description from seller

The "Practical Cogitator," edited by Charles P. Curtis and Ferris Greenslet, is presented in a hardcover Revised Second Edition printed in 1953. The book features light gray cloth-covered boards with green print on the front cover and spine. While it is in fair condition without a jacket, the front cover exhibits light discoloration at the front edge and some upward concave bowing. Overall, the covers are in good shape with indented spine ends and light rubbing to edges.Despite some light staining on the top edge of the text block, the binding remains square and tight. It's worth noting that the front flyleaf appears to have been replaced. The interior pages, however, are clean and unmarked."The Practical Cogitator," skillfully edited by Charles P. Curtis and Ferris Greenslet, is a treasure trove of literary and philosophical gems. This Revised Second Edition, printed in 1953, presents a collection of prose, poetry, and wisdom drawn from various sources. The anthology spans diverse genres and historical periods, offering readers a rich tapestry of human thought and reflection.While specifics on individual pieces may vary, the editors likely curated a selection that provides insight into the human condition, explores profound ideas, and showcases literary excellence. From essays and reflections to poetry and excerpts from classic literature, "The Practical Cogitator" is designed to stimulate intellectual curiosity and contemplation.Given that Charles P. Curtis and Ferris Greenslet were known figures in literary circles, their editorial choices likely reflect a keen understanding of literature's transformative power.

Description de la boutique

Alien Bindings is an online bookshop located in Baltimore that has been in operation for nearly 20 years. Alien Bindings caters to the sciences including the physical sciences, astronomy, mathematics, computer science, the social sciences and medicine. I also dabble in a wide array of other categories including antiquarian books and history. I run a clean, green business. I try to reuse clean materials for packaging whenever possible. For example, books are carefully packaged frequently using clean cardboard for custom made boxes, recycled paper is used for printed labels and recycled plastic or bubble wrap is used for a weather-proof barrier. I drop the packages off to my local post office via foot or cycle in order to further reduce the carbon footprint.
