The Inventions, Researches and Writings of Nikola Tesla

New; Pristine. The decorative-binding edition, and with All Edges Silver. New York: Barnes & Noble, 2014. Octavo; highly decorative binding with copper, black and silver boards, cover device of a black and white photograph of Tesla in his prime, in circular limits; All Edges Silver; black satin page-marker ribbon; illustrated endpapers; xi + 497 pp. New, and quite pristine; removed from original publisher's shrinkwrap for the purpose of scanning and description, then stored in archival protection. See scan. Possibly the most visually spectacular edition of a title which has been reprinted seemingly countless times since its 1894 inception, at which time the famously under- acclaimed but undeniably singular and ingenious scientist/physicist/electrical engineer/inventor, still insufficiently appreciated to this day (though that condition is changing rapidly), was only part way into his ingenious and often enigmatic endeavors. Reproduced here, internally, in a very careful facsimile style. A pristine example for the collector - and one could make a collection of the editions of this title alone (Barnes & Noble itself produced earlier editions in 1992, 1993, and 1995). See scans.
