Published by W.W. Norton, New York / London, 1981
Seller: Type Punch Matrix, Silver Spring, MD, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition Signed
First edition. Inscribed first printing of the book Colson Whitehead described as "[a] bleak, illuminating chronicle of racism in the name of 'science.'" Gould's historical analysis of the so-called "links" between intelligence and race as put forward by the scientific community over the last several centuries was cited by Whitehead as an important influence on his Pulitzer-winning novel THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD. Uncommon signed. 8.5'' x 5.5''. Original publisher's quarter red cloth over grey boards. In original unclipped ($14.95) pictorial jacket designed by Jay J. Smith. 352 pages. Inscribed by Gould on the front free endpaper: "For Barbara / with best wishes / Stephen Jay Gould." Some uneven fading to jacket, as common. Lower front flap corner clipped (not affecting price). Light foxing to top edge of text-block. Else bright and sharp overall. Near fine in very good plus jacket.
