BOWDEN, B. V. - EDITED BY

Faster Than Thought - A Symposium On Digital Computing Machines

London, Pitman, 1953/1955/1957, 3rd printing. 1957. Hardcover with dust jacket. Hardback, tall octavo, 6 1/4 x 9 1/4 inches, xx + 416 pages, Near Fine in VG+ to Near Fine dj (dj fitted w/ protective mylar sleeve). In grading the book itself as Near Fine I'm taking into consideration the previous owner who has signed his name twice on ffep as Stan Foote. This seems to be the H. (Horace) Stanwood Foote who is mentioned in David Boslaugh's book When Computers Went to Sea: The Digitization of the U.S. Navy. It's probably Foote's small notation "Page 30" in red pencil on the rfep, and with then a single line underlined in red pencil on p.30, a brief 1842 Lady Lovelace quote about the Analytical Engine, and to note, this book's frontis is a portrait of Lady Lovelace as "Ada Augusta, The Countess of Lovelace". Otherwise, the book itself is about flawless w/ only a normal shallow bump at each spine end. The book's dj is quite nice with price corner intact, no tears & only a very few minor imperfections incl only a very light amount of tanning. Due to size & weight, Priority or International order will require additional shipping charges. Near Fine/Very Good.
