Richard Feynman Lot(3) QED, Six Easy Pieces, Six Not-So-Easy Pieces Trade PBs

Description: Lot of 3 Trade paperback books by Richard P. Feynman: QED: the strange theory of light and matterPrinceton University Press 1985 (1st printing of this Trade PB edition) Six Easy PiecesPerseus Books 1995 17th printing Six Not-So-Easy PiecesPerseus Books 1997 7th printing All 3 are in VG+ condition with no writing or other markings, no stains, folds, creases. Bindings sound. Just a little wear to the edges of the covers and dusting to text block edges.I usually don’t give a summary of the contents of the books I list-I figure if you look at a listing you probably already know something about it. A small exception is made in this listing:Feynman was a prolific author, and I think of his works as falling into 3 rough categories (general essays and biography-these require little to no science/math background, general works on scientific topics-these require a little familiarity with science/math roughly at a high school level, and his wicked hard works like his Lectures on Gravitation-these require at least a post secondary familiarity with physics)This lot falls into the second category. I think these would be an ideal group for a motivated high schooler or home school library, or for the adult with an interest in physics who is willing to think through concepts. There’s not a lot of math needed to understand what Feynman is writing about, and I wish I had these books when I was in high school.Although QED is a 1st print of this edition, this group is intended as a working or study set.*I do my best to give the information you might need to independently verify my attributions. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me for further bibliographic info on a particular listing.*For signed books-I have been collecting author-signed and association copies for many years. My collection includes books signed at author events, ones purchased at bookstores, and ones I have found on the secondary market (library/estate sales, used bookstores, etc.). I do not have COAs or independent authentications, but I do check any signatures against available sources, and do not list any that I find questionable. I encourage you, if interested in a signed book, to do the same. I am also happy to answer questions and provide more photos. And if there’s still a question in your mind then don’t buy it-I want you to be comfortable with your purchase.*The pictures and description are of the actual book(s) for sale or auction. I do not use generic or ambiguous descriptions. I try to be conservative in my assessments of condition, listing and providing pictures of significant faults. I would prefer that you be pleasantly surprised than to be disappointed with your purchase.If I make a mistake or miss a condition point, contact me and we will work it out. Although I don’t generally accept returns, of course I will do whatever I can to correct a problem, and returns always apply when I misattribute or fail to mention a significant condition issue.*I only ship in Boxes with multiple layers of protection for the book(s).I cannot ship to alternate addresses not in your profile, or delay shipping beyond the deadline required of me by eBay.*Most of my listings include Free Media Mail shipping to the US. For Global shipping, the shipping to the hub is done by Media Mail. I generally take packages to the post office personally and have them scanned in-this reduces shipping time, usually, and adds a little security.*Shipped from a smoke and pet free home.*Feel free to make reasonable offers, and I often discount books in sales, so you might want to add any books that interest you to your watchlist.
