Description

Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons, London , 1953. 1st Edition. HARDCOVER. 1st printing. 8vo in light tan cloth, gilt lettering to spine, 416pp, plates, diagrams, charts in text, 2 folding sheets, glossary, index, etc. Besides famously containing a rare published work by Turing ('Digital Computers Applied to Games' in which he further expounds on the 'imitation game' via chess gaming) the list of other contributors to this book provides a mini Who's Who of computer pioneers, how significant the contents are is testified by the book being reprinted many times, the last being in 1968.. This is one of the increasingly elusive first edition and first printing of 1953. . . . . . . . . .. .CONDITION : An uncommonly well preserved near FINE clean and tight unmarked and unread copy (pages very slightly tanned, minute crease to cover corner tips, thin sliver of very slight creasing to spine ends) in a dusty, tanned and very lightly edge nicked but otherwise VERY GOOD price-clipped Dust Jacket (looks very presentable in its removable transparent protector) . . . . . . . . . . . . NOTE Due to size and/or weight shipping to destinations outside the UK will cost more than the price shown above. Orders made by card will be completed after you have approved the extra cost. ... . . . . . . . . We always ship in PROTECTIVE CARD PARCELS
