THE DOUBLE HELIX. A personal account of the discovery of DNA

Weidenfeld and Nicolson. London. 1968. FIRST EDITION. 8vo. (8.6 x 5.7 inches). Illustrated with 19 half-tone photographic plates, including six pages reproducing Watson's letter to Max Delbruck, telling of the Double Helix, and 11 diagrams within the text. A very good copy with previous owner's name and date (May 1968) written neatly on the front free endpaper. Original dustwrapper with some minor chipping to the corners and edges. A slight forward lean to the book but overall a very good copy.
