First Edition (SD, also ' Published December 1906 'on the copyright page). Volume 7 only of 8 Volumes. This book was previously owned by the renowned sociologist Daniel Bell. His loose bookplate comes with the book. He also signed his name off the top edge of the first front end paper. He also penciled 'AS3, 1906' at the top corner of the page. No idea what that refers to. There's also a yellow Post-it there with 'Max Weber on the Rural Community p.725' written on it.' Daniel Bell was very enthusiastic about Max Weber. I'm pretty sure he bought this 872 page volume in order to read Weber's essay which runs from page 725 to 746. He placed a little blue sticker off the top edge of page 724. And he probably read the article many times because his overexcited fingers created quite a few smallish edge tears, none of them reaching the print. (I'm not seeing any other edge tears on any of the other pages in the book). He did not write anything on any of the essay's pages, and I don't see any writing on any of the other pages in the book. Nor are there any markings. There is one attachment, an affixed bookplate on the front inside cover. The print on it states 'Columbia University in the City of New York, The Seligman Library Of Economics, Purchased By The University, 1929.' Bell took a PhD at Columbia University which makes a prima facie case that he stole this book. So much for his reputation. I have a number of books for sale that were owned by Daniel Bell. Bell is best known for his 'contributions to post-industrialism. His most influential books are The End of Ideology, The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism, and The Coming of Post-Industrial Society Two of these, the End of Ideology and the Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism were listed by the Times Literary Supplement as among the 100 most important books in the second half of the twentieth century. Besides Bell only Isaiah Berlin, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Albert Camus, George Orwell and Hannah Arendt, had two books so listed.' The Times probably didn't know about his kleptomania. The book is in pretty solid shape. It's nicely square and solidly bound. The pages are nicely tight. The paper at the gutter between the front inside cover and front end paper did pull away just a little bit, but it could be pasted back over the webbing beneath it. One tiny piece of the paper did come off. It is still there. The paper at the gutter between the rear inside cover and rear end paper is gone so you can see the webbing. The webbing in both instances is strong so both covers are still solidly bound. You can see the maroon covers in the photos. They look quite clean. They do have a little light scratching. There are some spots of color loss on the spine. There are also slivers of loss at the spine ends. The gilt lettering on the spine is still pretty bright. The edges and corners are in pretty solid shape. Outside of the aforementioned small edge tears (mostly in the Max Weber essay), there isn't much wear on the pages. There's a tiny loss at the bottom corner of the signed first front end paper. There's a little bump that caused an impression at the very bottom corner of 50-60 pages, quite minor. The pages are exceptionally clean throughout. There are no markings in the book. Max Weber's essays titled ' The Relations Of The Rural Community To Other Branches Of Social Science.'.…

Store description
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
