Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. This is the stated April 1946 reprinting, "Lithographed in the United States of America," of a book originally published in England 1944. Gilt titles dulled but still legible to book spine (where they read properly, left to right), the jacket being browned to spine with minor chipping to top and bottom of spine, jacket spine print running upside down (meaning it's probably British), price clipped from top of front flap, though the U.S. $1.75 price has been printed in matching green ink in small type sideways to BOTTOM of front flap. (The JACKET could thus be the British first, though a small label to bottom of front pastedown shows this copy was originally sold in Buenos Aires, which is where we got it.) Includes the Epilogue on Determinism and Free Will. The book "very good" in its "good" original jacket. The four plates -- one in color -- are in place and firmly attached. A physicist's epoch-making approach to the question, credited by James Watson and Francis Crick as inspiring their search for the structure of the molecule DNA. 91 pp., reduced from $265.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. States "First edition 1944, Reprinted 1945 / Printed in Great Britain." The front board is substantially warped so both outside corners curl up -- some time in a press might help. The jacket, which shows scattered foxing to rear panel and a couple of half-inch chips to the spine, is age-browning to spine as usual -- call this 1945 copy "fair in fair." Gilt titles still bright to book spine. Not price-clipped; original price of "6s. net" still showing to bottom of jacket front flap. Laid in is an age-browned press clipping headlined "Dr. Scroedinger Gives Farewell Lecture" undated but presumably 1955. Includes the Epilogue on Determinism and Free Will. The four plates -- one in color -- are in place and firmly attached. A physicist's epoch-making approach to the question, credited by James Watson and Francis Crick as inspiring their search for the structure of the molecule DNA. 91 pp.
