Item description from seller

First Edition (First Published 1953). 71 (unless I miscounted) Figures and Diagrams (Illustrations). You can see in the photographs just how terrific the covers of this nearly 64-year-old book look. They are a very nice red color. There isn't any soiling. The gilt lettering on the spine is very bright and unworn. The unseen edges also show no wear at all. The only imperfections are 1) two smooth scratches on the front that can be seen or not seen depending upon how the light hits the book, and 2) a crease at the bottom of the front just above the right corner. That crease is limited to the cover, doesn't affect any of the interior. The actual four corners of the book also show no wear. The book is well bound, there aren't any tears 's to be found, no page is loose. The pages are also exceptionally clean, no stains anywhere. No spotting. There aren't any markings in the book. No attachments. I didn't see any creases or dogeared corners. The next to last page of the index has a little bit of crinkling in the middle, absolutely not affecting one's ability to read. The last page of the index is a little too tightly bound to the rear end paper, causing a little bit of crinkling between the two, but again absolutely not affecting the ability to read the print. Not too many dust jackets look this good after so many years. Take a look at the first three photographs. There is only tiny bit of edge wear, the top spine end has a wrinkle. The dust jacket has the same crease that the book has right above the front bottom right-hand corner. There's a speck of loss at the rear bottom edge adjacent to the middle edge (third photo). The jacket is quite clean, just a light amount of handling soiling. The flaps are in excellent shape. The bottom of the front flap is clipped. However the price is at the bottom of the rear flap which is not clipped. Next to the clipped area there is an Associated Book Publishers Ltd price sticker with a price in pounds. The dust jacket will be fitted with a protective cover. This is by far the least expensive of the copies of this book for sale that are in decent or better condition.

Description de la boutique

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.
