Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions
- Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1885
Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1885. First American Edition. Good. First American edition of the classic mathematical fantasy novel. Bound in publisher's original pictorial mustard cloth over semi-flexible boards, front panel stamped in black, spine panel stamped in gold, all edges stained red. Good. Light wear to cloth at edges, darkening to spine and soiling and scuffing to rear cover. Former owner details to front free endpaper, several geometric pencil drawings to rear endsheet and blanks, pages tanned. A novel unlike any other--a comical (albeit misogynistic) literary lesson in mathematics and a satire of Victorian society all rolled into one.
