Edison by Matthew Josephson - HC w/DJ 1st EDITION 1959

Description: "Edison" by Matthew Josephson - 1st EDITION Hardcover w/Dustjacket - Published in 1959 by McGraw-Hill - 511 pages (16 pages of historic black & white photos) - the book is in EXCELLENT condition; DJ is good-very good. Regarded as the classic standard biography on Thomas Edison, this is the only biography written in the last 60 years to be recommended by the official voice of the caretakers of the Edison Laboratory National Monument in New Jersey which houses all of Edison's original records, sketches, notes, correspondence and memoranda. This outstanding biography depicts Edison as a pivotal figure in America's economic and industrial revolution success and at the same time as a human being, including his exploitative and, at times, crude qualities. There is some general rubbing on the corners of the DJ, some chipping on the top of the spine (see the scans), and the price is clipped from the front flap, but, overall, this nearly 65 year-old book is still in very good condition and protected from further wear with a Brodart cover. No collection of bios of inventors is complete without this one. Check out the scans for the cover and the spine and so you can judge the condition for yourself (unlike many other booksellers, who post generic scans, the book in my scan is the one you will get). You can try to buy this book for less money from one of those eBay booksellers with hundreds, if not thousands of negatives (you know the ones I refer to) and be lucky if the book is delivered to you in the stated condition (if you even get it at all), or you can buy it from me and be assured of a prompt delivery and of receiving an item true to the condition indicated. You won't be disappointed. Don't get left out; this book is long out of print! All previous buyers of my biographies have been completely satisfied. I have many others available; please check my listings. The book will be sent via Media mail shipping in the USA. I will combine shipping to reduce charges for multiple items. If you purchase more than one item, please request an invoice with the appropriate combined shipping discount. See my auctions and my eBay store for hundreds of books and a wide variety of sports and non-sports collectibles. All items are packed with care to insure safe delivery. Please contact me if you have any questions. 8-17-22 -- 28.6
