Garabedian Winston Appraisal

Plane Trigonometry by Garabedian and Winston (1929)

This item is a copy of "Plane Trigonometry" by Carl A. Garabedian and Jean Winston from The University of Cincinnati. It is identified as a First Edition, Second Impression, published by McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc. in 1929. The physical characteristics visible include aged, cream-colored paper with black printed text. The typeface appears to be a standard serif font, typical of texts from the early 20th century, indicating a classic academic style. Given its age, the paper exhibits a natural patina, showing subtle discoloration consistent with nearly a century of existence. There are no immediate signs of significant damage such as tears, major creases, or heavy foxing which suggest the 'good condition' noted. The binding is not visible but the page itself appears relatively flat, indicating it is likely well-preserved, though a slight ripple might be present on the right edge. The printing is clear and crisp, without any smudging or significant fading, indicating good quality printing for its time. The clear legibility of the text and lack of severe staining suggest it has been stored appropriately. This particular edition provides a timestamp from the interwar period, offering historical context to the academic curriculum of the time.
