About this Item
New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1885. SEE PHOTOS. From the library of Thomas Alva Edison, genius of technology, who held over 1,000 patents including the electric light, phonograph, and motion picture projector. This book bears his "Library of Thomas A. Edison" engraved bookplate, believed to be the earliest of several Edison bookplates and found only in volumes he acquired in the 19th century for personal use. SEE PHOTOS. Because so many important scientific journals were published in German in those days, a German language dictionary was an essential reference tool in the laboratory. Laid in (loose) is a printed authentication slip from Edison's youngest son, Theodore M. Edison. Bound in contemporary brown cloth with a dark brown leather spine stamped in shiny gold. SEE PHOTOS. First Edition. Oversize Hardcover. Fine condition. xvi, 852pp. + ii, 522pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. Seller Inventory # 023087
