About This Item
First edition. No dust jacket. Black fabric with faint printing on the spine. Four little spots where the boards show through, most at corners. Page edges are dusty and soiled, and defied my efforts to clean them up. The pages themselves appear clean, tight and unmarked. A section of photographs in the center. Map on endpapers showing the locations involved in the project, with owner's name in a couple of places on the front endpaper. Included is a clipping from 1970 with the obituary of the head of the project, General Leslie Groves. This is a rare book.

Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost. All of my photographs are of the actual product, taken by my trusty little Kindle Fire. Currently we have about 2900 books offered for sale online, with more being added daily. Check back frequently to see what's new. -----
