What a true first shows: First edition: 1936, The Museum of Modern Art (hardcover). The text was revised in 1961 (The Shoe String Press). The first MIT Press paperback edition was March 1966. None of these is the present copy.

Photographs show the exact copy you will receive. Every flaw we found is listed above; if we missed one, the return is on us.
