Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! - First Edition
Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman!
First edition, first impression: New York: W. W. Norton & Company, Inc., 1985.
Octavo. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With the original dust jacket, featuring a black-and-white photographic portrait of Feynman with bold typographic speech-bubble design in red, yellow, and white.
Slightest hint of lean, the cloth bright and clean, with a small, faint white mark to the lower board; internally fresh, the text block evenly toned as usual, presenting a very good or better copy.
The dust jacket very good, the spine panel a touch faded, with a short closed tear to the top edge of the lower panel and minor wear at the head of the spine; otherwise bright and well-preserved.
Feynman's celebrated and highly entertaining autobiographical collection, written with Ralph Leighton, capturing the Nobel laureate's wit, curiosity, and irreverent approach to science and life. Now regarded as a classic of popular science writing, the work has introduced generations of readers to Feynman's distinctive voice.
