Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

"Printed in Great Britain" is stamped on the copyright page. First UK Printing. Printed on heavy stock: half-title, title, pages 1-56, [1 page blank, colophon on verso; 1 blank leaf], followed by 8 pages of Methuen's publications on thinner paper. Two figures in the text (pages 49 and 51), and one footnote. Original blue cloth with gilt lines and lettering on the spine; title and lines in blind on the upper board. There is a miniscule hole at the upper joint and touches of fading to the corner tips and spine ends. The interior heavy stock is clean and bright except for several small spots (of glue?) on the half-title; top-edge colored gray-blue. The original dust jacket, printed in black, is unclipped, but is in two separate pieces, with several chips out of the heavily sunned spine and a swipe of paint covering most of the '3/6 net' price. All text on the rest of the jacket is intact. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] A small bookseller's label on the rear pastedown has left half attached to the dust jacket flap. "My only aim to-day has been to show that the human faculty of visualisation is by no means bound to capitulate to non-Euclidean geometry." (The end of the second address.) As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.

Descrizione dello Store

The books listed here are, indeed, from my father's library, representing the depth and varied interests of a modern scholar's mind. Dr. Henry LeRoy Finch, professor emeritus of philosophy and a published author, trained in the classics (graduating top in his class at Yale), and went on to develop an appreciation for modern thinkers. It took over half-a-century to amass this collection of primarily-scholarly books with a broad range of subjects from Philosophy and Religion (with an emphasis on the interrelationships and intricacies of Eastern and Western Thinking) to scientific influences played out over the entire history of humankind, touching necessarily on Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, Literature, History of various Cultures, Psychology, Physics, and Spiritual Thought, including Theosophy and Mysticism. Many are esoteric philosophical works, out-of-print and unavailable elsewhere. A great number cover the interconnections of so many subjects as to defy classification. His was a working library: each volume was read and familiar, its whereabouts on a shelf always known, even when "double-parked." Though many of the books are esoteric, others will appeal to the general reader, often making an abstruse subject more approachable. (There are a hundred books on Einstein alone!) In addition, there are numerous paperbacks--classics, scholarly, first-published editions, several versions of the same book (in different translations), handy for packing along in a back pocket. Each of the volumes from the collection has a bookplate tipped in at the front and may have pencil marginalia--sparse or profuse. I have tried to reflect this in all the listings, but feel free to call and discuss further details of a book's condition. As it will take a long time to write up all the descriptions, some of you may wish to call and ask about a particular book you have been seeking. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep an eye on the "Wants" list. Thank you for visiting this page. I hope my father's books will eventually find happy homes; it was one of his last wishes.
