Paperback. Condition: Very good. First Edition, First Printing. Thick quarto. 8.5 x 11 in. 792 pp. Occasionally illustrated with black & white reproductions of photographs, schematics, diagrams, etc., including a fold-out. Very good in original grey vinyl wrappers that have isolated stains on the front and back covers, some rubbing to hinges, and age-toned pages that otherwise remain clean and free of foxing or other markings. This text, prepared by Bell Telephone Laboratories for Western Electric Co., contains a series of essays on the theory, properties, design principles, application, and characteristics of transistors under development in the 1950s. Included among the various authors is William Shockley, inventor of the junction transistor, who won the 1956 Nobel Prize for Physics alongside Bell Labratory scientists John Bardeen and Walter Brattain.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 792 pp. Original stiff wrappers, 4to. Very Good. Contains 35 papers from an important early Bell symposium, 22 of which were apparently unpublished at the time. Other papers reprinted from the Physical Review (2 papers), Bell System Technical Journal (4), Bell Lab Record (1), Proceedings of the IRE (2), and other periodicals. Includes four important papers for which William Schockley was author (2 papers) or co-author. Papers range from 2 to 56 pp. Includes Schockley's important paper on 'The Theory of p-n junctions in semiconductors and p-n junction transistors.' (BSTJ Vol. 28, July, 1949, pp. 435-489). Shockley, Bardeen, and Brattain were awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize for Physics 'for their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect.'
