Original cloth spined boards, VG. 2 volumes, G+. tp+v-xxiv+417pp, tp+326+1pp, tables, index to each volume, boards & spine rather grubby, original leather lettering pieces in good order, corners & edges worn & bumped, occasional pencil annotation to the margins, paper with scattered light foxing, Ex Library with a pair of ink stamps to the titles & no other library evidence, a fair set of a scarce work. One of the milestones in the study of the digestive processes of man & mammals. The anatomist Freidrich Tiedemann [ 1781 - 1861 ] & chemist Leopold Gmelin [ 1788 - 1853 ] joined forces at Heidelberg University to study the process of digestion with each contributing much, in their respective fields, to further the understanding of the digestion of food to the limits of science in the early 19th century. They made several important discoveries & proved much - such as the fact digestion is not solely conducted in the stomach, discovered glucose in the blood converted from starch & other foodstuffs by proteins, discovered taurine, etc etc. Garrison Morton 988 .

Terms of Sale
Eastleach Books
All our books offered are in at least good condition, with the majority very good and better. Descriptions are brief, but PLEASE ask for more detail if required. We can scan books & jackets, signatures etc. MINOR inscriptions ignored in NON FICTION titles, unless really detrimental to the book - but then a 150 year old ink name adds character surely? Modern hardbacks are described as being Cloth bound, even though predominantly they come in paper covered boards pressed to look like cloth. Book grades are given book then dustjacket (if any) Running from F - Fine, VG - Very Good, G - Good, P - Poor. A fine book will look almost like the day it was bought, a VG one will have some evidence of prior ownership, G means a nice clean copy, obviously secondhand & P implies a COMPLETE copy that has suffered a hard life & will need some TLC. We take into account the books age when grading, so a 250 year old book graded as VG will look more second hand that a 5 year old book graded the same. On the Net since 1998. All prices are in GBP. Payment can be made by Visa, Mastercard, Switch & Solo or JCB. After your order is placed, FAX your card details etc to +44 (0)1635 48444. Any Book may be returned - but please let us know prior to sending a book back. We wrap each book individually and don't just stick em in a jiffy bag with a prayer. Paperbacks are packed with card stiffeners. WE BUY BOOKS! Happy reading!

Michael Bond - the man behind Paddington Bear
“All the same ... it’s a very important name. And I don’t expect there are many bears in the world called Paddington!”
A lonely toy bear on an empty shop shelf on Christmas Eve in 1956 first captured the attention of Michael Bond, who kindly shared Paddington with the world.
