The original red cloth is excellent, with corners sharp and gilt lettering bold on the gently-bumped spine. The interior is bright, crisp, and completely clean. The pictorial dustjacket is unclipped, though it is sunned, a bit rubbed, and has several small chips. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] ""This book exhibits the critical and creative spirit of modern philosophy in the face of intractable problems bequeathed by classical mechanics, thermodynamics, and astrophysics. It re-examines and restates an essential theme of modern methodology: the problem of empiricism. . . . This book shows what is going on at the frontiers of knowledge."" (From the flap.) As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking.
