by Basbanes, Nicholas A.
New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1995. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Fine/Very Fine. 8vo., 638pp. Beautiful Stated First Edition, First Printing with full number sequence. Bound in 1/4 black cloth over brown paper-covered boards. Titles in gilt on spine. Square, tight and clean throughout with no discernible wear. Equally attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($35.00), is fresh and bright with no chipping, creases, toning or tears.
