Seller's Description:
"Mechanics" by J. P. Den Hartog is a rare hardcover First Edition, published by McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc. of New York and printed by The Maple Press Company of York, Pa. in 1930. This edition is bound in black cloth, elegantly adorned with faded gold spine lettering and borders. While the book is in Fair condition without a dust jacket, it remains a valuable resource for mechanical engineers and enthusiasts alike. The covers show moderate to heavy wear, particularly at the corners and spine ends, where the boards are visible due to cloth wearing all the way through. Despite this wear, the visual appeal is still enhanced by the contrasting gold lettering on the spine. The binding has some give and is rolled forward, and the hinges, while weak, remain unbroken, preserving the book's structural integrity. Inside, there is a small abrasion on the front flyleaf, and the interior pages are unmarked, providing a clean reading experience. However, there is a slight musty smell, typical of books of this vintage. This edition of "Mechanics" was once part of the personal library of Robert D. Thulman, a remarkable individual known for his inventive spirit and contributions to the field of high-efficiency wood-burning stoves. Bob, a gifted inventor, businessman, musician, pilot, and world traveler, left a remarkable legacy. With degrees from MIT, he perfected the freestanding fireplace and founded Thulman Eastern Corp., inventing high-efficiency wood-burning stoves. Bob's love for music led him to play in Dixieland and swing bands, and he hosted memorable concerts. Discover a book connected to this extraordinary individual and be inspired by his zest for life. "Mechanics" by J. P. Den Hartog invites you on a journey of passion and adventure, and owning a piece of Robert D. Thulman's personal library adds a unique historical touch to this exceptional edition. To ensure its safe delivery, the book will be carefully packaged, offering protection from the elements. As part of our commitment to excellent service, a USPS electronic tracking number will be issued free of charge, allowing you to monitor the progress of your shipment. For those seeking more information or pictures of this extraordinary edition, please don't hesitate to contact me. "Mechanics" is a valuable addition to any technical library and a testament to the intellectual pursuits and achievements of both J. P. Den Hartog and Robert D. Thulman. 462 pages.
