About This Item
The Folio Society, 2012 8vo (24 cm), front., XX, 356 pp, 6 plates. Publisher's cloth backed boards, slip-case (bookplate tipped in front pastdown, collector's blind stamp on title). Beautiful Folio edition of the memoirs of famous American theoretical physicist. A series of anecdotes shouldn't by rights add up to an autobiography, but that's just one of the many pieces of received wisdom that Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman (1918-88) cheerfully ignores in his engagingly eccentric book, a bestseller ever since its initial publication in 1985.
