The author has contributed a new preface for this edition"; '$6.50' price on rear cover bottom right. [There are 2008 (Dover) and 2017 (Routledge) printings of a 4th edition with a new Introduction and short Postscript by the author, but the Table of Contents for the text is same throughout as the 3rd Dover edition here; total 424pp. for 4th.

Only the Preface to the Dover Edition, pp. xv-xxii (except for p. xxi), is marked with occasional fine point black ink vertical lines, adjacent to paragraph edges, at previous owner's discretion, and on ffep are found differentiations of 'y = f(x)' and 'log x =' positioned in slanted columns in fine-point ink, else Clean Text. Some superficial, short soft creases down front cover middle (can barely be detected on inside front cover); tiny nick to midpoint left rear cover edge (glued). Spine MAY be faded from olive of front cover to light gray, if not originally light gray, for black lettering on spine is bold black, sharp and distinct, not in the least looking faded: describes much worse than it is, but there you have it: Binding is tight (NO cracks); corners with very minor rubbing (NO bumps or curls); NO remainder marks; NO previous owner names. Essentially a clean text. Solid copy, cheaper than the trivially different 4th Edition.

All domestic orders will be sent by USPS Media Mail, unless some other mode of shipping is requested or required and accepted in advance of shipping. International orders will be sent by USPS International Flat-Rate Priority envelope or box, unless the current weight and size restrictions cannot be met [e.g.: (1) the item is too large to fit the International Flat-Rate envelope or box or (2) the item weighs over 4 lbs. or (3) insurance is requested or required (e.g., the book is worth $40.00 or more)--in each such case, the item will be sent, only if the given destination country allows for it, by signing for the item.] All books sent by USPS Flat-Rate unpadded envelope (or padded envelope, moreover) will be wrapped in paper and packed between cardboard sheets larger than the book or with cardboard affixed at the corners, in order to prevent damage to the book during shipment.
