Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Printed in Great Britain. First printing. Volume I only. Folding Map as Frontispiece [plus three others], Preface, List of Principal Authorities, Introduction, Notes, Commentary on Books I-IV, Appendixes I-XV; xii, 446 pages. The original maroon cloth shows touches of rubbing at the extremities, with gilt lettering still clearly visible on the spine. Curiously, there was a misprint of "Books V-IX" instead of the correct "Books I-IV" and a previous owner placed a label over it---with only a residue remaining. [Visible in one of the five images of actual book.] The interior has remained bright throughout, except for the maps which show some spotting, mostly at the folds. [See the images.] There are several creases to the title page. Binding remains strong. "The commentary on Books I-IV, with the corresponding appendixes, has been written by Mr. Wells [who] prefixed short summaries of the subject-matter to the various sections of the notes. . . ."---from the Preface. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.…

Descripción de la tienda

The books listed here are, indeed, from my father's library, representing the depth and varied interests of a modern scholar's mind. Dr. Henry LeRoy Finch, professor emeritus of philosophy and a published author, trained in the classics (graduating top in his class at Yale), and went on to develop an appreciation for modern thinkers. It took over half-a-century to amass this collection of primarily-scholarly books with a broad range of subjects from Philosophy and Religion (with an emphasis on the interrelationships and intricacies of Eastern and Western Thinking) to scientific influences played out over the entire history of humankind, touching necessarily on Art, Anthropology, Archaeology, Literature, History of various Cultures, Psychology, Physics, and Spiritual Thought, including Theosophy and Mysticism. Many are esoteric philosophical works, out-of-print and unavailable elsewhere. A great number cover the interconnections of so many subjects as to defy classification. His was a working library: each volume was read and familiar, its whereabouts on a shelf always known, even when "double-parked." Though many of the books are esoteric, others will appeal to the general reader, often making an abstruse subject more approachable. (There are a hundred books on Einstein alone!) In addition, there are numerous paperbacks--classics, scholarly, first-published editions, several versions of the same book (in different translations), handy for packing along in a back pocket. Each of the volumes from the collection has a bookplate tipped in at the front and may have pencil marginalia--sparse or profuse. I have tried to reflect this in all the listings, but feel free to call and discuss further details of a book's condition. As it will take a long time to write up all the descriptions, some of you may wish to call and ask about a particular book you have been seeking. Meanwhile, I'll try to keep an eye on the "Wants" list. Thank you for visiting this page. I hope my father's books will eventually find happy homes; it was one of his last wishes.…
