The Early Diagnosis of the Acute Abdomen. FIRST EDITION.

Descripción

xv, 223 pp; 28 text figures (Frontispiece = figure 1). Original cloth. Spine sunned and with some spotting. Front cover unevenly sunned. Front cover bowed. Good. NOTE: I can supply more photos of the binding, upon request. First Edition. The first edition has these words "First published in 1921" printed on the verso of the title page. There is not a date on the title page. Zachary Cope wrote the first 14 editions (published from 1921-1972) of this modern classic of surgery. The 14th edition was published when Cope was 91. Quoting from what Jessie Dobson wrote in appreciation of Cope's classic work: "This [work] has reached the rare distinction of still being a best seller after more than half a century and its reputation has never once declined from the high standard set in the first edition. He is now in his ninety-second year and we not only wish for him many more years of happiness but also many more editions of this". Copy of Wilfred Pickles (with his bookplate). He was probably the Rhode Island neurosurgeon. I very much doubt that the British radio and TV personality with the same name was the former owner of this surgical book!
