First edition. Thick octavo, original black cloth. Inscribed by the author to Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger and his wife, “For Cap and Jane Weinberger- with admiration and affection from Dan Boostin”. With the bookplate of Caspar W. Weinberger on the inside gutter. Fine in a fine dust jacket. The author served as the 12th Librarian of the United States Congress from 1975-1987. A very nice association.
" A remarkable narrative of the grand intellectual venture of humankind, rich in fascinating, often dramatic details" (The Wall Street Journal) " A sumptuous, totally engaging panorama. No one who reads it will look at the chronicle of human ingenuity in the same way again." (David McCullough)
