About this copy
This is the first edition, first printing of Scott's study of the legal, moral, and social implications of organ and tissue transplantation. The copyright page states 'First published in 1981 by The Viking Press' with no subsequent printing notations. Russell Scott headed the Australian government task force that prepared a model code of laws on the use of the human body for medical and scientific purposes, completed in 1977.
Hardcover in original publisher's dust jacket, designed by Bob Silverman. The jacket retains its original printed price of $14.95 on the front flap and is unclipped.
Condition
- Book
- Very Good – boards and spine appear clean and square; no interior defects noted in the photographed pages.
- Dust jacket
- Good – noticeable staining to the lower portion of the rear panel, light general soiling to the front and rear panels, and a small crease/tear at the top edge of the rear panel.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
