Hardcover. Condición: Fair. Vol. I only (of the three-volume set). Ex-library. A Fair 8vo hardcover with gray cloth boards that were originally half -bound in black leather. NO dust jacket. Marbled end papers with a reinforced front hinge and a nearly open rear hinge. Library markings appear limited to front matters and end papers as the text (618 pp.) appears clean and securely bound, albeit with age appropriate tanning. Gilt top edge. The gray cloth portion of the boards is soiled and rubbed. The board edges and corners are well rubbed. The original paneled black leather spine covering has failed and has been covered (in the case of the portion of the boards adjacent to the spine) or replaced (in the case of the spine itself) with black cloth tape. The surviving portions of the original spine; namely, black leather with gilt lettering and lines on four panels and four raised bands have been affixed atop the black tape. (At least one bottom panel and raised bands near the spine head and tail are now missing.) In short, a fascinating if flawed copy. **Extra charges may be requested to cover postage costs on an expedited and/or international order because of the size and weight of this book.…

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A book of 6-3/4 X 9-7/8 inches in original blind-ruled brown cloth with gilt titles to spine, 332 pp. including Index followed by a 56 pp. illustrated publisher's catalog (including an illustrated ad for this title -- see final scan), ending with a full-page ad for The Popular Science Monthly at $5.00 per annum. The three color plates remain present and firmly attached. Bookplate of the Medical Society Library of the County of Kings, indicating the book's donation by Dr. Chas de Szigethy of Brooklyn (who also signs to top of title page) stamped "Withdrawn." There is an inch-and-a-half tear (gap) to the blank yellow free front endpaper, at the spine, evidently caused by the removal of an earlier bookplate from this free endpaper. Gerster, born in Hungary and arriving in America in 1873, became president of the American Surgical Association in 1911. This was the first American surgical text based on Listerian principles. It caused a furor, since at the time suppuration was considered a natural sequence of every surgical procedure. It was printed on heavy calendered paper with many halftone illustrations, then unusual in scientific books. (Gerster made his own plates, at a time when photography by an amateur was unusual.) Reduced from $280. Illustrated with 248 engravings (from Gerster's photographs) and three chromo-lithographic plates (ilustrador).…
