Kinematics of Machines (Fourth Edition)

The item is an open book displaying its title page. The paper appears to be an off-white or cream color, indicating some age, possibly due to natural yellowing or the original paper stock choice. The text is printed in black ink, featuring various font sizes and styles to differentiate between the title, author, and publishing information. The overall physical condition seems to be good, with no major rips, tears, or significant creasing visible on the page. There are some minor signs of wear consistent with an older book, such as slight discoloration around the edges and a faint, horizontal crease or scuff mark in the lower middle section of the page, beneath the 'FOURTH EDITION' text. The binding is visible on the left side, showing the typical construction of a sewn or glued spine, and the page lies relatively flat. The book's age is indicated by its fourth edition status and the 'BY THE LATE' designation for the author, George L. Guillet, M.S., who was an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at The Pennsylvania State College and a Member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. The publishers are listed as John Wiley & Sons, Inc. in New York and Chapman & Hall, Limited in London, suggesting a publication date from the early to mid-20th century, a common period for such academic texts.
