New York: Herbert Reichner, 1950. 1950. First Edition. BRAND NEW in PERFECT CONDITION. A beautiful unread copy thanks to a lucky warehouse find. SEE PHOTOS. Limited to 750 copies. This is NOT the common Martino reprint. NO rubbing. NO fading. Bright, clean, square and tight. Sharp corners. NOT a library discard. NO owner's name or bookplate. NO remainder mark. Fresh and crisp -- obviously never read. This standard Sir Isaac Newton bibliography has full descriptions for 606 items. Introduction by Roger Babson Webber. 20 illustrations, including a frontispiece portrait of Newton and one folding plate. This is the 1950 basic volume only.

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
