First Edition
First English Edition. About fine in a very good dust jacket. The author promulgated this law in an essay in the Economist, summing it up as 'work expands to fill the time for its completion.' This simple observation, humorously presented but nevertheless insightful, has inspired hundreds of business and management books in a similar vein. All books described as first editions are first printings unless otherwise noted.
