Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Escher, M. C. (illustrator). First Edition First Printing. The author, a mathematician with a longtime interest in Escher, brings this perspective to bear on the artist's own reflection on his work, found in personal notebooks, correspondence with family, & writings, to analyze the world of symmetry in over 350 off his illustrations, 180 of which have never been published! A FIRST EDITION, first printing from 1990, this quarto has black cloth-covered boards with gilt lettering to spine. Condition is Fine: essentially a Brand New book without the crispness! Completely clean, binding straight & strong, pages white & unmarked. The unclipped DJ is downgraded to Near Fine, with a slight dent in the middle of the top edge of the back cover & tiny bit of wrinkling at lower spine; barely visible under the protection of the new clear mylar cover we provide! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have on hand. Same day shipping on all orders received Weekdays by 2 pm (Pacific time); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day. SORRY: book is too large for expedited domestic or any international shipping without preapproval of extra postage (at least double per USPS rates). Seller Inventory # 017301
