(no dust jacket, as issued) [light shelfwear, spine cloth a bit faded, small ink blot on lower edge of text block]. (Colloquium Lectures in the Pure and Applied Sciences, No. 2, October 1956) Series If you need more of a description of the contents of this 189-page book than is provided by its title, then maybe this isn't really the book for you. I will share the author's charmingly self-deprecating introductory note, however: "These notes were prepared from tape recordings with relatively little editing. They furnish once again a conclusive proof that the arts of speaking and writing are vastly different and, perhaps, even incompatible. In writing one doesn't have the recourse to the most powerful instrument of a speaker -- the use of hands. In speaking one cannot conveniently refer to the learned and amusing treatise of Mr. Fowler on the proper use of English. If the only price for preservation of the immediacy of a live lecture is the number of split infinitives and garbled or unfinished sentences, then perhaps it is worth paying." **** NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order. ****.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

Welcome to ReadInk (pronounced like "Dead Ink"), now in its 27th year of putting interesting books into the hands of interested people. Our watchwords here are: * Availability. Every book listed for sale is in my possession and available for purchase; every image posted is a picture of the actual book on offer. * Service. Although I occasionally adopt the so-called "royal We," in fact ReadInk is just Me -- I handle everything from one end of the pipeline to the other: buying, cataloging, customer service, shipping, you name it. Nothing automated here -- just prompt, personal attention to every order. * Accurate Description. I use standard book-grading terminology -- Good, Very Good, Fine (with various +/- gradations as appropriate) -- and try to avoid both excessive jargon and obsessive amounts of detail. "Fine" is my highest grade, and a book has to be darn near perfect to earn it; even the smallest flaw or blemish will knock the grade down to "Near Fine.? I strive to present a faithful impression of a book?s condition and appearance; significant flaws such as remainder marks, previous owner's names, tears in the dust jacket, etc. are always noted, or if too numerous are reasonably summarized. * Information. Whenever practical, I try to include some information about a book's content in my listing, even if only a carefully chosen quotation from the dust jacket copy. This may sound like a small thing, but take a look sometime and you'll see how amazingly few sellers bother with this. On the occasions I let this slide, it's generally because the book is a common one, or because the title itself is sufficiently descriptive. * Care for the Book. I package all books with great care, to ensure they will withstand the rigors of the U.S. Postal System, and will reach their new owners in the same condition as advertised. My specific packaging techniques vary according to the needs of the book itself, but either a sturdy box or an unbendable package is always involved. (No bubble envelopes, ever, unless the contents are thoroughly protected within.) That?s all there is to ReadInk: just a guy who has loved books all my life (perhaps to excess) and entered the trade in my "middle years" to see what I could make of it. And I'm still finding out. My inventory appears here on AbeBooks and on my own website ? www.readinkbooks.com. Come on in! Howard Prouty, prop.
