A SHORTER HISTORY OF SCIENCE by Sir William Cecil Dampier Armed Services Edition, '40s or '50s Condition: Very Good+ to Near Fine This small oblong paperback is the overseas edition of a title first published in 1944 and was distributed to the U.S. Armed Forces. Unlike most titles in this series, it was obviously barely read. Foot of spine bumped, slight spine creasing, small white spot at top of FC, pretty minor edge wear, some page darkening. Overall, a well-above-average copy.
