About This Item
About this Item: G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, 1910. Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Book is very good+, bound in blue cloth with gilt lettering over boards. Internally the book is unmarked and very clean. Top edge is gilt. Book was translated by the author from Sanskrit., and one might mistakenly think as the title might suggest, that the book deals with geology, but rather it deals with what the Hindu's term vas infirmius or woman. Rather then rocks and minerals, the story really plays lightly with s somewhat softer substance, which only disconsolate lovers in the depth of their dejection ever venture to compare with harder substances, a woman. Book is scarce and very collectible.
