About This Item
Arno Press, 1980. Hardcover. 777 pages. Text in German. Reprint of the 1921 edition published in Berlin. Illustrated in black-and-white. A volume in the History of Paleontology collection of reprints by Arno Press. Series editor Stephen Jay Gould. A fine hardcover copy; no dust jacket, as issued. From the Harvard office library of the paleontologist and leading advocate for evolution, Stephen Jay Gould. With a posthumous tipped in bookplate indicating the provenance. *** Intellectually, Gould understood the true nature of these bookplates, but the book collector in him appreciated them. In his essay 'A Seahorse for All Races' Gould writes about one of his prized possessions, a book from Charles Dickens' library: 'Dickens made no annotations, but a bookplate on the cover, presumably inserted as a come-on for a sale after Dickens' death in 1870, does prove that [he] kept and shelved the book.' *** We offer our Gould bookplates, printed letterpress in two colors, in the same spirit.
