Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: near fine. First Edition. First edition in English, first printing, octavo size, 127 pp. Karl Nickerson Llewellyn (1893-1962) was named as "one of the twenty most cited American legal scholars of the 20th century" by "The Journal of Legal Studies" (n.b., quote from Wiki). This work originally based on a series of lectures Llewellyn gave at Leipzig in 1928 while there as a visiting professor; those lectures were expanded, and then published in Germany as "Präjudizienrecht und Rechtsprechung in Amerika" in 1933. The work then disappeared from the publishing world, until The University of Chicago Press published this, the first in English, in 1989. Now scarce in the markeplace; as of this writing we see no copies online, either physical or digital, although it is referred to copiously. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full light purple cloth over boards, gilt lettering on the spine, octavo size (9 1/4" by 6 1/4"), 127 pp. In a dust jacket with summary and short author bio on the flaps, with review blurbs on the back panel. ___CONDITION: Volume near fine, the boards clean, straight corners without rubbing, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; the front board slightly bowed, else fine.
