About this Item

The very scarce complete REVIEW COPY of Watson s controversial personal account of the DNA discovery. There is some light foxing at the top edge of the original dust-wrapper over wrappers with the review slip stapled by the publisher to the front wrapper. The dust-wrapper has some creases and is the same one used for the hardback first edition with the price intact on the front flap ($5.95). 8vo. xvi, 226, (6). Includes the rare 4x7 glossy photograph of the author laid in. With Francis crick, Watson described and elaborated on the structure of DNA in 1953. They together with Maurice Wilkins shared the 1962 Nobel prize in Medicine or Physiology for their work. This discovery is probably the most important in the biological sciences in the twentieth century. A most desirable format for this seminal work. Housed in a red clamshell box constructed by the Heritage Bindery with a black morocco label. Seller Inventory # 116
