NY, Viking, (1974). His first collection of essays, winner of two National Book Awards (for Arts and Letters and for Science). Signed by the author. Foxing to top edge, small spot to foredge; about near fine in a very good, price-clipped and dusty dust jacket with light wear to the edges and folds and a couple of stray pen marks on the rear panel. A surprise bestseller, which went into at least 10 printings in its first year of publication: first printings are scarce, and signed firsts especially so. [#035681] $400
