Migraine: Evolution of a Common Disorder

  • SIGNED Cloth

By Oliver W. Sacks
Berkeley. CA: University of California Press, 1970. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. Mrs. Audrey Besterman. INSCRIBED BY OLIVER SACKS TO FELLOW NEUROSURGEON PETER J. JANNETTA on the front free endpaper. A lovely copy to boot of the 1970 stated 1st printing of Oliver Sacks's 1st published book, this scholarly examination of the evoluton of migraines. Clean and Near Fine (with just the faintest touch of light soiling along the top and fore-edges) in a crisp, price-intact ($8.50), Near Fine to Fine dustjacket. All but pristine in its original iteration. The author's first literary output in what would of course evolve into a remarkable career in both the fields of neurology and the history of science. Truly a collector's copy.
