The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side
By Agatha Christie
First edition, first impression. A Miss Marple novel and the subject of several TV and film adaptations.
Original red cloth with black lettering to spine. Some browning/off-setting to front and rear endpapers and paste-downs with a few spots to edges, mainly to the top. Otherwise very good and clean internally.
The original and unclipped dust jacket has a closed tear to spine head and a couple of other smaller nicks to edges. A couple of areas light staining to upper and lower panels with a soft vertical crease running along upper panel that is only visible upon inspection of the reverse of the jacket. Very good.

Unended Quest: An Intellectual Autobiography

Unended Quest
By Karl Popper
First revised edition, first impression. Signed and inscribed by the author in the year of publication to the title page: 'To Ian Hunter From Karl Popper October 1976. Popper's autobiography was originally published a couple of years earlier in 1974 as part of 'The Philosophy of Karl Popper'. The present edition represents its first separate publication, containing Popper's subsequent revisions to the original text.
Sir Karl Raimund Popper (1902 - 1994) was a highly influential Austrian-British Philosopher, academic and social commentator regarded as one of the most important and impactive philosophers of science of the 20th century. He proposed and developed ideas such as 'critical rationalism' and 'empirical falsification'; the idea behind the latter being that, given the impossibility of the attainment of definitive proof of a particular scientific theory, all theories should be subjected to rigorous testing and, therefore, potentially disproved by means of decisive scientific experimentation. This idea led to the establishment of the Department of Philosophy at the London School of Economics.
A touch of rubbing to spine ends. A few soft creases to spine and corners of covers with the usual toning to edges. Otherwise a uniquely well-preserved and near fine example, not often encountered inscribed in the year of publication and in such good condition.
