Reading, MA: Addison-Wesley Publishing Co, 1966. Early Printings. Very Good. Three volumes, early printings. Signed by Richard P. Feynman with a small doodle on the preface page next to an image of him playing a bongo drum, followed by "Hawat / Muan [?]", perhaps a reference to Frank Herbert's Dune.

Very Good with fading to spines, light rubbing to cloth and light marking to covers, bumping to corners, former owner names at front, slight foxing to endsheets. UCLA students' bookstore rubber stamp to bottom textblock edge and front free endpaper of volume I. Complete with three exercise books (1964-65), bound in publisher's original stapled wraps.

Based on lectures presented before undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology, during 1961-1963 by Nobel Laureate Richard Feynman, who has sometimes been called "The Great Explainer". One of the most popular physics textbooks ever written, selling over 1.5 million copies, signed copies are very scarce.
