Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: VG. 1st ed. Orange cloth cover. Issued in the Smithsonian International Symposia Series. f/piece (photo of Dillon Ripley and Rene Dubos), xxi+560; prev.owner's small gilt label top front pastedown otherwise near pristine; unclipped jacket minimally worn and though generally clean there is a scatter of tiny brown flecks down front edge, short faint vertical rubbed line on front and hint of spine rubbing - none of this serious and it remains VG in my view.
