19423248<p>First Edition; a Very Good book in a Very Good dust jacket. From the library of noted evolutionary biologist Stephen Jay Gould. A handsome copy of this treatise on Evolution from one of the leading evolutionary scientists of the 20th century; this book scarce in the first printing particularly with the original jacket. The book is in very good condition with a square tight binding and pages free from markings; the book does show some light staining to the text block some mild rubbing and bumping to the edges and corners and some inconspicuous spotting to the boards; housed in a completely intact original jacket that shows some age-darkening to the spine and edges with some alternate areas of sunning and some light staining and soiling to the panels and spine. Overall a very presentable and collectible copy with a unique association to Gould.
