Item description from seller

First Edition, First Printing. Very Good Dust Jacket. An important and enduring work at the intersection of computing and human cognition, John von Neumann’s The Computer and the Brain represents the final intellectual contribution of one of the twentieth century’s most influential mathematicians. Published posthumously, the text offers a concise yet profound exploration of the parallels—and fundamental differences—between artificial computation and biological neural systems, anticipating many of the central questions that continue to shape modern artificial intelligence and neuroscience. This is a true first edition (1958), published by Yale University Press. The volume is in Very Good condition: internally clean and sound, with a firm, square binding and only light, expected signs of handling. There is a small ownership inscription or mathematical notation on the front free endpaper, unobtrusive and not affecting the text block. The original dust jacket is present and likewise Very Good, retaining strong overall presentation with minimal wear consistent with age. A cornerstone text in the early conceptual development of computing and the philosophy of mind, this work is increasingly sought after by collectors in scientific firsts, cybernetics, and foundational AI literature.

Description de la boutique

We specialize in antiquarian and rare books spanning the early modern period through the twentieth century, with an emphasis on works of enduring intellectual and historical significance. Our holdings include early scientific and philosophical texts, foundational works in law and medicine, exploration and cartography, and finely illustrated volumes. Each book is selected with the dual perspective of a collector and a scholar. Particular attention is given to edition priority, completeness, condition, and provenance. Where present, annotations, ownership marks, and inserted materials are carefully preserved and documented as part of the book’s historical record. Our aim is not simply to sell books, but to steward objects of cultural and intellectual permanence—placing them into collections where they will continue to be studied, appreciated, and preserved.
