CAROTHERS' EDITIONS

"I'm not quite sure what Henry Bergos was saying, but my copy of Carothers was co-published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. of New York and Chapman & Hill, Ltd. of London in 1930. The book is copyright Neil Carothers (1930) and was actually printed by the Press of Braunworth and Co. Book Manufacturers, Brooklyn. If this is the "original PhD dissertation" to which Bergos refers, it definitely is not "near impossible to get." I have seen dozens of copies over the years. The copy presently in my library was purchased at the ANA in Denver several years ago for $35."

[My copies are also of the 1930 edition; I've never seen a copy of the original thesis. Does anyone else have a copy with the original dust jacket? (spoken like a true biblio-nut) -Editor]
