About this Item

EXCEPTIONALLY SCARCE! LIMITED EDITION HAND NUMBERED AND SOLD OUT! Book is brand new and unread. Still in the publisher's original box and wrapping. The photos are of my personal copy, so your number, which I do not know, will vary. This is the very limited edition of the classic, "On The Origin Of The Species" by evolutionary biologist Charles Darwin. Very large and heavy book which will require additional shipping. In the book that changed our view of life on earth, Charles Darwin challenged the place of the human race at the centre of creation and started a scientific revolution. Evolution by natural selection had been discussed in academic works, but Darwin s energetic prose was written to be read and understood by the general public and led to its author being described as the most dangerous man in England . Half-bound in goatskin leather blocked in gold foil with lettering and ornaments by Jamie Clarke, and with hand-marbled paper sides by Jemma Lewis, this edition is worthy of the best collections. A. C. Grayling's insightful introduction and Darwin expert William Bynum's inspired selection of 40 pages of plates illuminate the text, that of the first edition from 1859. Charles Darwin's book for ever altered the history of mankind and, in highlighting the synergy between life forms and environment, was a pioneer work of ecology ever more important in our world today. Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies Half-bound in goatskin leather blocked in gold foil with lettering and ornaments by Jamie Clarke Marbled paper sides by Jemma Lewis Set in Garamond with Victoria Titling as display 448 pages of text printed on Munken Pure paper Frontispiece and 40 pages of plates printed on Symbol Tatami paper Gilded page tops and fore-edges Ribbon marker Cloth-covered slipcase blocked in gold foil with lettering and ornaments by Jamie Clarke 11� x 8.
