Descripción

Pictorial DJ of Darwin is unclipped; covered in mylar; has a price of $1.00 on front flap; has an L-shaped closed tear on spine (see scan); 242 titles listed on inside and on back. BOOK is VERY CLEAN covered in red cloth; red topstain. The Origin of Species proved unexpectedly popular, with the entire stock of 1,250 copies oversubscribed when it went on sale for the first time to booksellers on 22 November 1859. In the book, Darwin set out one long argument of detailed observations, inferences and consideration of anticipated objections. His only allusion to human evolution was the understatement that light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history. SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20 YEARS OF ABEBOOKS EXCELLENCE.
