"The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge": First Illustrated Edition of The Discoverers; Inscribed by Daniel Boorstin to his Neighbors in the Year of Publication
BOORSTIN, Daniel J.
The Discoverers: A History of Man’s Search to know his World and Himself.
New York: Harry N. Abrams, Publishers, 1991.
First illustrated edition of this classic work. Octavo, two volumes, original cloth. Inscribed by the author on the front free end paper in the year of publication of both volumes. Volume one's inscription reads "For Hope and Sam- good friends, good neighbors- with affection from Dan Oct. 14, 1991." Volume two's inscription reads, "For Hope and Sam- with affection over many years from Dan Oct. 14, 1991." Both volumes are in fine condition, as is the slipcase. A nice association.
