About This Item
A SIGNED scarce first edition of Benham's work looking at the apparent connections between palmistry and choice of vocation. "Shows how any parent can easily select the occupation for which a child is best fitted and prepare him for success". Pages are generally very good with a couple of exceptions: three pages found with some light green underlining (see photo), and two pages have some residue of brown tape for some reason though no stickiness etc (see photo), all others are clean and bright as far as we can see. Front FEP has Benham's signature in an inscription, and a neat personal library plate (see photo). Binding is tight. Rare DJ is good but its major pieces are separated (potentially repairable), with the mylar removable cover keeping it in a good visual shape. A segment is missing on spine (see photo). Many illustrations. Despite the flaws (all in the photos, for openness) noted above, still a good copy of a rare edition. We haven't seen a signed copy of this edition before. See photos, all of which are of the copy for sale, we don't use stock photos. More photos on request, thanks!
