Description

Author:  Brown, Vinson (1912-1991)

Publisher: Science Materials Center, Inc. (New York City)

Pub Date: 1961

Binding: Paperback

Condition: Fair.  Stapled binding tight.  No marks, tears, folds.  All corners worn, lower corners slightly bent (not worth measuring).  Sun-fading to spine edge, front and rear.   Foxing to some pages.  Some edge and corner wear.

Notes: Basically a paleontology textbook.  What gives that away is the chapter entitled “Answers to Experiments”, which means there may have been a workbook to accompany this volume.  It’s really an excellent introduction to paleontology, including taxonomy, photography of fossils, how to extract fossils from rock, making fossil models, handling and displaying fossils, and more than a little geology thrown in.  83 page booklet.  Print-on-Demand copies are more than double in price, and still don’t include a workbook.
