New York: Covici Friede Publishers, 1934. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Good. A Very Good copy in gray cloth lettered in silver, in an attractive Good dust jacket with light wear at the tips of the flap folds and spine (not affecting lettering). 1934 gift inscription at the front endpaper. The binding is sound, the text is clean/unmarked, and there is little cover wear. The copyright page states only 1934 with no additional printings (thus, the first edition/first printing), but the dust jacket has the words "second printing" at the top edge of the front flap (which is not price-clipped). There are no reviews or other indications that the jacket differs in any way from the first printing except for those words.

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.
