Inexplicable misprint
LANGER, Susanne K. An Introduction to Symbolic logic. London: George Allen & Unwin. 1937.
8vo. Original cloth and dustwrapper, front of wrapper inexplicably lacking the last two words of the title and publisher's name; pp. 363, [1], [4, ads]; wrapper with very small chips to edgges, otherwise very clean, very good.
First edition. Extremely rare with the baffling and, given the subject of the book, highly ironic printing error to dustwrapper. This excellent text book, celebrated for its clarity and supposing no logical training in the reader, is still in use today. Langer (1985-1985), a student of Wittgenstein and Whitehead, was one of the most insightful and popular philosophers working in semiotics and symbolic logic. She has been unjustly neglected, perhaps partly because she was a woman working in a male-dominated field, even though "her intellectual mastery and originality was the equal of any 20th-century philosopher" (Hart, pp. 239-245).
