Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

(no dust jacket) [a very nice copy, NOT ex-library, with no significant external wear, just a tiny dark ink blot on the spine; internally unblemished apart from some modest discoloration to endpapers, and small bookseller's(?; see note) address label on the front pastedown]. (B&W photos, diagrams, fold-out schematics, etc.) This volume (the first edition of which appeared in 1914), was "the first to be devoted exclusively to automatic and semi-automatic telephony, or which has attempted to treat the art in the manner which its importance requires." (I love that the authors call this highly technical subject an "art.") The Preface goes on: "Radical changes have been made in revising this book from the first edition. As far as possible, only live matter has been retained, live subjects introduced, and old things re-cast into such form as will be more readily understood. The writers do not believe in coddling those who are too lazy to work." So there. (Regarding the possible-bookseller's label, it reads: HARPER / 2516 East 131st Street / Compton 4, California. On the rear pastedown is a penciled note, indicating that the previous owner had purchased it in 1964, using a purchase order, from a "Leila Harper." 2516 East 131st Street was and is a residential address, for what that's worth, so maybe Ms. Harper was just a previous owner rather than a bookseller. But how would the buyer even know to buy the book if it wasn't advertised somewhere?) ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this somewhat heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.

Shopbeschreibung

Welcome to ReadInk (rhymes with "Dead Ink"), now in our 29th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. **** Although I occasionally lapse into the "royal we" voice, ReadInk is just me, from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing here is automated, and every order or inquiry gets my prompt, personal attention. **** In describing a book's physical condition, I employ standard book-grading terminology (Good/Very Good/Fine, with various in-between gradations as appropriate) and do my best to avoid both excessive jargon and overly-finicky detail. My goal is always to present a faithful impression of a book's condition and appearance; significant flaws are individually noted, or if too numerous are succinctly summarized. **** Books are more than just physical objects, however: they are also intellectual/information vessels, and in almost every case I also include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if it's only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. (This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this, especially in the case of older fiction, which is one of my specialties.) **** I take great care (and pride) in my packaging of books for shipment; I figure it's my responsibility to ensure that each book I send out will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach its new owner in the same condition as advertised. (A sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved.) **** That's all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. **** To view my inventory exclusively, head over to my website -- www.readinkbooks.com. ---- Howard Prouty, prop.…
