Wilson, Netta W. — ALFRED OWRE - Dentistry's Militant Educator

Minneapolis, Univ of Minnesota Press, 1937. [ ] Hardback, tall octavo, appx 6 x 9 1/4 inches, gilt spine titling & ofc gilt dental caduceus on dark purple cloth, xviii + 331 pages, VG- in Fair to Good dj (dj fitted w/ protective mylar sleeve). Book itself mostly quite decent, tight and very clean incl no names no writing etc. but one-inch tear to three consecutive top edges, the first being one of the 8 b&w photographic plates in the book, with the tears (repaired carefully w/ archival paper tape) all ending just shy of doing any damage to one photo and to any of the text). Cloth covers nice corners, a little wear spine ends, 2 or 3 areas of very light fading from chips absent from the brittle dj & a couple of very small droplet signs. DJ dark purple bkg, price corner intact, very clean, but front panel couple of medium edge chips w/ couple of small tears, spine ends shallow chipping, back panel shallow chipping & short tears along both edges + all folds pretty serious rubbing/splitting (again, with careful repairs made). Owre s life tracked from Norway to Minnesota to Columbia Univ. Found no Engl lang wiki page, but Columbia Univ. has an article w/ photo used in this book as the frontis.
