'Reprinted from The Psychological Monographs, Princeton, N.J., March, 1913. A dissertation presented to the faculty of Bryn Mawr College.' Once listed, this will be the Only signed copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. It will also be the Only signed copy of any of her books. The signature did not include her name which wasn't unusual back in the day. At the top of the flowery patterned first end paper she wrote 'With the author's Compliments'. As you can see, this book presents quite nicely despite its age. The blue covers are clean. The gilt lettering on the spine remarkably bright. The covers aren't perfect. There are a number of small puffy areas on the front and rear. There's a little bit of wear at both spine ends, and a small spot of rub-through at each corner. The front bottom corner has a tiny crease and there's just a bit of smooth rubbing (not rub-through) on the bottom edges. The top and middle edges look perfect. The top page edge is a little darker than the middle and bottom page edges, but all three seem to have avoided soiling. The book is square (the spine is straight) and very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout. The covers are very solidly bound as well. If you look closely you can just make out a little bit of the twine bindings along the junctures between the front and rear covers and their end papers. Both junctures are in excellent shape. This is a tight and very solidly bound book. As I mentioned the inside covers and front end papers are a flowery design. They are all in very good shape. There's a hint of toning and a few specks of soiling on the first front end paper just to the side of the author's writing. The blank verso of this page has a small crease at its bottom corner, and off the top edge you can see a little bit of the ink from the author's inscription. The white end papers are very clean and that, happily, accurately describes all of the pages in the book. I saw a total of two speck-sized spots over the entirety of the book. The book contains one page with three photographs. The page is glossy and that material caused some toning at the margins of the page before and after it. The wear on the pages is quite minor. There was a nick to the middle edge that created a tiny thin crease just off the edge of a handful of pages, and something must have pushed against a small area of a number of latter pages because there is a slight indent on them (no more than an inch in size) that does not reach the print. On the rear side of these pages you see this very slight indentation and on the front side of them you see a very light shadow. It's, by my estimation, quite minor, but I don't want to omit mentioning it. Lastly, I found two tiny (1/8th inch) edge tears. There are no markings anywhere in the book. No attachments of any kind. And with the exception of the author's inscription, no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. Quoting from Wikipedia: 'Marie Gertrude Rand Ferree was an American research scientist who is known for her extensive body of work about color perception. Her work included "mapping the retina for its perceptional abilities", "developing new instruments and lamps for ophthalmologists", and "detection and measurement of color blindness" With LeGrand H. Hardy and M. Catherine Rittler, she developed the HRR pseudoisochromatic color test. While working at Wilmer Ophthalmological Institute of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, she acquired patents for lighting devices and instruments, and worked on the lighting of the Holland Tunnel between New York and New Jersey. In 1912, she received the Sarah Berliner Research and Lecture fellowship from the Association of Collegiate Alumnae. She was the first female fellow of the Illuminating Engineering Society and received a Gold Medal award from that society in 1963. In 1959, she became the first woman to receive the Optical Society of America's Edgar D. Tillyer Medal.'.…

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.…
