Item description from seller

Pp. 303-399 (but see below concerning pagination), with 85 text figures. Contemporary cloth, with original printed wrappers bound in. Xlib: call no. on spine, library bookplate, pouch on rear pastedown, ink stamp on each fore edge. Aside from the library markings, Very Good. First Edition. SIGNED BY SCARFF: "For/ Dr. Houston Merritt/ with warmest regards and esteem/ Ted Scarff." With ink name stamp of Houston Merritt on front flyleaf. A fine association as Scarff and Merritt were colleagues at the Neurological Institute of New York. John Edwin Scarff (1898-1978) was known as "Ted". The front wrapper states (see photo): "International Abstracts of Surgery, Reprint from Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, November 1955, Volume 101, 417-513". But those are not the page numbers (pp. 303-399) in this separate printing. I cannot explain the discrepancy.
