Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good-. 1st Edition. 255pp., vi. No editions, printings or number line cited; same date on title and CP. Shiny forest green cloth with brilliant gilt lettering on spine, blind-stamped Publisher logo at center front cover. Toned (thin line of light brown) across spine ends and very top of boards and inside top cover edges, with very slightest line of thin brown across rear cover top edge (minimized by strong forest green beneath); very small-to-tiny tip wear at corners and across foot and head of spine;very thn line of diminished green across lower rear cover edge [with corresponding faint green on outside (not inside, except for tiny bit of rear cover lower left corner inside)]: it all describes much worse than it is, but there you have it: binding still tight; corners essentially square. Original taupe dustwrapper with black lettering for title and subtitle across top and upper middle front cover, respectively; Publisher name in black across bottom front cover. Spine browned, but with all lettering in black sharp and distinct, eminently readable; browned across top front cover and down right edge, as with rear cover left edge: would appear that a smaller book on the shelf was adjacent to this copy's front cover, a larger book on the shelf adjacent to its rear cover, given the pattern of browning; 1" closed tear down top edge rear cover near top corner; 1/2" closed tear down top right spine corner, with other small chips and tears at corners: now imperfections backed with archival tape and dw in Brodart mylar which forgives sins kindly.

Williams, "The Problem of Communication in Biological Teaching"; J.E. Harris, "A Review of the Symposium". Despite minor flaws, book is solid, having only Donald Schon's short vertical markings in the final chapter of the book, a review of the Symposium ( i.e., 6 pp. of 255 pp). Donald Schon's name and address at time of acquisition of book are printed in blue ink on ffep and have been ineffectually blacked out with felt-tip pen. A solid copy, despite peccadilloes.…
