Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2005. 167pp. Original tan cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Introduction by Walter Lippincott. This beautifully designed volume highlights 100 of the nearly 8,000 books we have published. Pages are bright and clean. Binding is tight with no cracks or breaks. Unclipped DJ is lightly sunned/lightly finger soiled with some minor bumping to head of spine. Looks nice in protective mylar covering. This is not a remainder or ex-library. No previous owner markings. In addition to succinct descriptions of the 100 titles and a short introduction on the history of the Press, the book features five essays by prominent scholars and writers: Michael Wood discusses the impact on Princeton University Press of intellectuals who fled Nazi Germany and authored many influential books. Anthony Grafton recounts our rich publishing tradition in history, politics, and culture. Sylvia Nasar traces our evolution into a leading voice in economics publishing. Daniel Kevles reflects on Einstein, a figure of special importance to Princeton. And Lord Robert May writes on our long-standing tradition of publishing in mathematics and science. "A Century in Books" is more than a celebration of 100 years of publishing at Princeton University Press - it is a treasure trove of 100 years of books that have added to the richness of twentieth-century intellectual life.
