Beschreibung

First Edition (Number Line to 1). If you have an interest in Daniel Bell you are going to want to read through this listing. This is another one of his books that I purchased some years ago. This time, he did sign the book, he did so on the half-title page. Moreover, he made copious notations, notes, etc. throughout the book. If you include margin parentheses, I would estimate that he marked up 90% of the pages, including several references to himself by the authors. In the privacy of his office, unaware that I would one day be selling his book, he was pretty free with his feelings, a large number of exclamation marks, arrows, question marks, a few tasty remarks ( "so pathetic, poor Gerth"), and, of course, a good deal of academic reference and annotation. He also made a number of notes on the back of the last page. This book was clearly right down his alley. Max Weber is front and center along with, obviously Hans H. Gerth and C. Wright Mills (Donald A. Nielsen wrote an article titled Hans H. Gerth, C. Wright Mills, and the Legacy of Max Weber). Arthur J Vidich may have incurred Bell's displeasure when, in 1972, he co-authored a critical article in the Journal Of Aesthetic Education titled 'The Cultural Contradictions of Daniel Bell.' You can see the covers of this book in the photos. They are very clean. They are in nice condition with just a crease at the front bottom corner. The page edges are very clean. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout a nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. I don't think there's any soiling at all. The front cover crease carried through over the first seven pages and the tips of the bottom corners of 12 consecutive pages got turned inward. I straightened them out, but there's a tiny crease left over. Both instances of creasing do not come anywhere near the print. Dr. Bell did not create any placeholder creases. There are no stampings in the book. There are no attachments of any kind. And here is where I usually say that there is no writing to be found anywhere. Here, happily, there is writing to be found everywhere. (On a related note, those interested in Daniel Bell may want to keep their eyes on my future listings. I'm trying to get the energy/time together to list a classic study on race (in two volumes), the first of which includes a good deal of his annotations). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 004189
