About This Item
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1981. Hardcover. Very Good +/Near Fine. A nice Association copy: INSCRIBED BY FRANCIS CRICK TO AUTHOR JEAN STEIN ("Edie [Sedgwick]: An American Biography") on the front free endpaper. A very sharp copy to boot of the 1981 true 1st edition. Tight and VG+ (with just a touch of editorial ink by Jean Stein at the first several pages) in a crisp, price-intact, Near Fine dustjacket, with very light soiling and offsetting along the rear panel. Octavo, an impressive dissertation on "the nature of life itself" by the eminent biologist who won --along with James Watson and Maurice Wilkins-- the 1962 Nobel Prize for "their discovery of the molecular structure of DNA"
