About this Item

Near fine copy in the original gilt-blocked cloth. Slightest suggestion only of dust-dulling to the spine bands and panel edges. Minor library marks remain (internally). Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and strong. Physical description; 545 pp. Contents; Part I: EXPERIMENTS ON THE COMPUTER; Chapter 1.
