About This Item
London: Adam and Charles Black, 1911. The provenence of this antiquarian volume is what makes this book unique. Pasted to the inside cover is the bookplate of Louis Agassiz Shaw, co-inventor (along with Philip Drinker) of the iron lung in 1928. 394 lightly tanned pages followed by several pages of publisher advertisements. Some rubbing wear to maroon cover. We noted some red pencil marks to equations on page 175. Some mild foxing to endpapers. A poor quality rubber cement repair has been made to inside cover and title page, so residue is visible on the seams of those pages and title page does not open flat. Shaw bookplate has caused a darkened area the shape of the bookplate, paste residue on bookplate. Small green stamp on fep, penciled price, penciled price on page v. Rubber cement residue on inside seem of back cover. Small blemish on back cover. Thanks for shopping with us. 100% of your purchase benefits charity and supports literacy and life-long learning. . 3rd. Cloth. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
