About This Item
Philadelphia: Chemical Heritage Foundation, 2015. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. New. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. New, with label. See scans and description. Philadelphia: Chemical Heritage Foundation, 2015. The Premiere Issue of the new incarnation of the artfully executed Distillations magazine (subhead: Science-Culture-History), Volume One, Number Four. Quite scarce already. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 48 pp. New; immaculate, with pre-printed subscriber address on rear cover. Small-scale edge abrasion from mail handling at rear cover edge, nonetheless brand squeaky new. See scans. Original tipped-in postcard, a re-printed engraving of safety goggles for sale in the Arthur H. Thomas Company's 1914 catalogue 'Laboratory Apparatus and Reagents', remains pristine within as well (see scan). The fourth-ever issue of what one hopes will be a long-lived hardcopy publication, for its taste, interest, art, focus (nicely eclectic, well within the publisher's realm but with tangential variety) and production values. Feature articles include: Truth Serum; The Gowanus Canal Superfund Site; Recycled Wastewater; a Small-Town Methamphetamine Culture; Nazi Physics; Women in Science; Secret Writing; Diabetes History; a metaphorical Petroleum World Map from Harold M. Smith in 1946; and of course quite a lot more. Always, nice graphics. See scans for a tiny taste. Shipped in a protective, new box - no bag for this one. LPR19
