Facies Interpretation and the Stratigraphic Record

W. H. Freeman and Company, 1981. First Edition. Hardcover. Item #272845
ISBN: 0716712911

291 pages. By the British geologist and palaeontologist. First edition (first printing). Light wear to the spine ends else a fine hardcover copy; no dust jacket. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: 'To Steve with kindest regards / Tony / Spot the theme!' From the Harvard office library of the paleontologist and leading advocate for evolution, Stephen Jay Gould. With a posthumous tipped in bookplate indicating the provenance. *** Intellectually, Gould understood the true nature of these bookplates, but the book collector in him appreciated them. In his essay 'A Seahorse for All Races' Gould writes about one of his prized possessions, a book from Charles Dickens' library: 'Dickens made no annotations, but a bookplate on the cover, presumably inserted as a come-on for a sale after Dickens' death in 1870, does prove that [he] kept and shelved the book.' *** We offer our Gould bookplates, printed letterpress in two colors, in the same spirit.
