WOODBURY, David O.
THE GLASS GIANT OF PALOMAR
1939 WOODBURY, David O. THE GLASS GIANT OF PALOMAR. The Human Story Behind American Astronomy Culminating In The World's Largest Telescope. NY: Dodd, Mead Company, 1939. Small quarto: decorative blue cloth, stamped in gilt, in dust jacket. First Edition. Signed by Woodbury on the front endpaper. This is a difficult to find in the true first edition (this title has had several reprints) and especially so when signed by the author. Very Good (some toning endpapers); several small nicks & short tears (little soil rear cover) d/j. A fascinating book about building the largest telescope- to date- in the world.
