Item description from seller

New, as described, with pre-printed subscriber's address at rear cover (all examples of this publication were thus mailed). See scans and description. Philadelphia: Chemical Heritage Foundation, 2016. The Summer, 2016 issue of the new incarnation of the artfully executed Distillations magazine (subhead: Science-Culture-History), Volume Two, Number Two. Quite scarce already. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 48 pp. New. Pre-printed subscriber address on rear cover (all examples of Distillations are subscriber-mailed). Addressee has been blocked out in scan for privacy, but of course not on the magazine itself. See scans. Original collectible tipped-in postcard, bearing the reproduced image of "Descending the Shaft at Wielliczka", from "Mines and Miners (Or, Underground Life)", ca. 1868, remains pristine within as well (see scan of that). Early-on-ever issue of what one hopes will be a long-lived publication, for its taste, interest, art, focus (nicely eclectic, well within the publisher's realm but with tangential variety) and production values. Feature articles include: Thinking Machines (Artificial Intelligence); Information Overload - Through the Centuries; Forbidden Planets, Forbidden Chemistry; 19th Century Global Climate Research; Isaac Newton and the American Alchemist; Thomas Edison; Why Did the Apollo Program Stop?; Curtis Heisey; Svante Arrhenius; and of course quite a lot more. See contents page scans for detail. Always, nice graphic - See scans for a tiny taste. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR25.
