About This Item
Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press [1985], 1985. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. [11], x, [5], 4-158, [4] pp. Bound in black cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Price of $18.50 on the front flap of dust jacket. Illustrated with several in-text diagrams. Both the book and the jacket are found in multiple states, but priority has not been convincingly established. The present copy has the jacket that lacks the advertising blurb on the rear flap. A very attractive copy of this book which Gleick (in his well-known biography of Feynman) refers to as "a model of science writing" One leaf with a small smudge; jacket with a crease that runs the length of its front panel.
