Fine copy of the Albert Einstein signed limited edition book ''Albert Einstein: Philosopher-Scientist.'' Evanston: The Library of Living Philosophers, Inc: 1949. #141 of 760 copies signed by Einstein who writes upon the limitation page, ''Albert Einstein. 49.'' This copy is unusually well-preserved, with virtually no flaws, in fine condition. With original brown boards, deckled edges and top edge gilt. The nearly 800 page tome begins with an autobiography by Einstein and continues with essays by Einstein's contemporaries upon his work and almost insurmountable contribution to science, ethics and philosophy; notable authors include Niels Bohr, Max Born, Arnold Sommerfeld, Walter Heitler and Karl Menge. It concludes with a detailed scientific reply by Einstein to the essays. An exceptional copy of an important book on 20th century thought.
