About This Item
SIGNED positively New First Edition copy, still in Easton Press's shrink wrap. Opened only by the author for his signature. Reflecting on the deepest origins of language, storytelling, and art, E O Wilson, one of our most highly celebrated biologists, chronicles the evolution of creativity from primate ancestors to humans, spurred on by the invention of language. "Without the invention of language," Wilson concludes, 'we would have remained animals. Without metaphors, we would still be savages." Bound in fine genuine leather, this utterly flawless, library-quality copy of The Origins of Creativity in publisher's shrink wrap is accented with 22k gold lettering and decorations and hubbed with Easton's distinctive raised spine rings. Page ends are gilded in 22k gold to protect against dust and humidity. Origins is also printed on archival-quality acid-neutral paper, Smyth sewn for strength and durability. Endsheets of moire silk and a permanent satin ribbon page marker. Contains Easton's Certificate of Authenticity. Magnificent! A perfect signed copy, sure to appreciate in value. Book #v5a3011. $298. We specialize in Rare Ayn Rand, history, and science.
