About This Item
Synopsis
I was just going to say, when I was interrupted, that one of the many ways of classifying minds is under the heads of arithmetical and algebraical intellects. All economical and practical wisdom is an extension or variation of the following arithmetical formula: 2+2=4. Every philosophical proposition has the more general character of the expression A+B=C. We are mere operatives, empirics, and egotists, until we learn to think in letters instead of figures.

Terms of Sale
StuffCenter
ALL ITEMS are subject to prior sale, and may be reserved and therefore unavailbe. Items may be reserved by e-mail, at which point you will receive a confirmation e-mail. Reserved items will be held for 7 days pending receipt of payment. To help us identify your requested items, your inquiry/order should include author, title, and catalog number. All items are as described and all major defects are noted. Items shipped USPS Media with delivery confirmation, unless otherwise requested. It is buyers responsibility to request optional insurance ($3.00 for every $100 insurance). All items are packed with care not to be damaged under normal shipping circumstances (using bubble wrap and cardboard boxing). I will not be responsible for items damaged during shipping. However, the USPS has been known to open packages and not repack them adequately. For this reason, I strongly suggest requesting the optional insurance.
