Erstausgabe
Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition (NAP). 'Includes bibliography and index, 300 illustrations, including 80 plates in color.' This is a large, heavy book. I and charging the same amount as I do on all books and will cover the extra shipping cost for a domestic sale. The book is in very nice condition. You can see the covers in the photos. They are exceptionally clean. I don't see any soiling. The cover edges are in excellent shape. So are the cover corners, no rubbing on either. The spine ends are very solid, just a tiny bit of crinkling and color fading. The page edges look perfectly clean. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in terrific condition. The inside covers and end papers are a bright red, or should I say blood red. The rear inside cover has a tiny spot of rubbing off its top edge and a teeny tiny scuff off its bottom edge. The same teeny tiny scuff can be seen directly across off the bottom edge of the rear end paper (1/8th" each). The pages are exceptionally clean and bright. Scrolling through, I'm not finding any instances of soiling. Nor do there appear to be any creases, none at all. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. All of the illustrations are in excellent condition. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It is in very nice condition. It is very clean. There is a speck-sized white spot of rubbing on the rear cover. There is one tear on the jacket, exactly 1/2 inch long, off the bottom edge of the rear cover. The white flaps are perfectly clean and in excellent condition. The jacket is not priced or clipped. It will be fitted with an appropriately large protective cover after the photos are scanned. 'This beautifully illustrated armchair tour of the world of dentistry, from Mesopotamia to Egypt and Babylonia, from the Islamic world through the Renaissance, early America, and onto the present day, traces the history of dental practice and focuses on its fascinating development.'.
