Book Description Hardcover. First Edition. 444 pages. 8-3/4 by 10 inches. A textbook. First edition (first printing). A fine hardcover copy; no dust jacket, as issued. Clean inside. No highlighting or underlining. Inscribed by author: 'To Stephen Jay Gould, Read in small bits as antidote to fox terriers -- and share with appropriate son. Bruce Wallace.' The reference is probably a nod to Gould's essay, 'The Case of the Creeping Fox Terrier Clone,' about how writers of biology textbooks copy from one another without checking facts, thereby propagating false science. Obtained from the Harvard office library of the paleontologist and leading advocate for evolution, Stephen Jay Gould. With a tipped in bookplate indicating the provenance. Intellectually, Gould understood the true nature of these bookplates, but the book collector in him appreciated them. In his essay 'A Seahorse for All Races' Gould writes about one of his prized possessions, a book from Charles Dickens' library: 'Dickens made no annotations, but a bookplate on the cover, presumably inserted as a come-on for a sale after Dickens' death in 1870, does prove that [he] kept and shelved the book.' We offer our Gould bookplates, printed letterpress in two colors, in the same spirit. A large, heavy book. Seller Inventory # 200668
