About This Item
Stockholm: Almqvist & Wiksell, , 1955.. Two volumes, small 4to, original blue buckram stamped in burgundy and gilt, 55 plates. Fine copies in unusually fresh dust jackets (a few short tears to each, else nearly fine). A handsome, bibliographically useful catalogue of perhaps the largest and most important medical library ever assembled by a single person. The one-volume reprint of this classic, published in the early 1990's with badly reproduced plates (among other problems), can hardly compare.
