Excellent read, especially for those that would like an account of Einstein's intimate lifestyle, his family cultural background of Jewish descent, and of course what he is famously known for -Being recognized as a genius prodigy by age 14, still today recognized as the modern scientist that penned the famous theory of relativity, which led the way for others to continue to expound upon.

As the book discloses that he was highly misunderstood at first. We all know that he still remains in history as probably the most humble human that ever lived, as he disclosed our existence to have the greatest respect for all life on this planet.

I just found a used copy and in beautiful condition, published in 1949, that appears identical to the photograph above. This was at our famous Powell's City of Books in Portland Oregon and it was only priced at $10.50, so I'm not sure the true value but it was covered with a beautiful acetate cover over the original dust cover which was slightly worn but the inside is pristine and like new.
