Description

A PRISTINE COPY OF THE FIRST AND ONLY EDITION OF THIS EXTREMELY EARLY MANUAL FOR RAILROAD CONDUCTORS AND ENGINEERS. 143 pp. Signed by author on verso of half-title (as with all copies). Printed on good wove paper. Name of former owner ("M. Picandet") stamped on front cover and half-title. 12mo. Original plain wraps. Uncut. Light wear to wraps. Internally fine and bright. Considering the tiny target audience of this book, surely very few copies were printed, and most of those were probably subject to heavy use. The survival of such a pristine copy is nothing short of remarkable.
