First edition, first printing. viii, 242pp, profusely illustrated in text, many in full colour. Illustrated stiff card covers. 8vo. Volume is neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. Glossy, illustrated dust wrapper, a little shelf worn and very gently bumped on edges in places.

Of all the senses it is vision that most informs the mind. The instruments of science also favour vision but they extend it into new domains of scale, intensity and colour. It is these domains that the authors traverse in Powers of Ten, a wonderous journey, in forty-two consecutive scenes, across the universe from its largest known dimension to its smallest.
