1979 I See what You Mean, Richard Gebhardt, Softcover. Signed by author. Measures about 8.5" by 5.5". 112 pages. Good condition. Starting to separate from spine.
Delve into the nuances of communication and perception with this 1979 edition of I See What You Mean by Richard Gebhardt. This 112-page softcover is a fascinating artifact of late-1970s educational or instructional literature, reflecting the era's growing focus on clarity and visual understanding. What makes this particular copy a standout for collectors is the personal touch of a signature by the author, Richard Gebhardt, on the interior. Measuring approximately 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches, its compact size and straightforward typography are quintessential examples of mid-century academic publishing, making it an excellent addition to a "scholarly farmhouse" library or a "dark academia" study.
The book is in good vintage condition, though it bears the honest marks of a volume that has been put to use over the last four decades. The most notable condition detail is that the text block is beginning to separate from the spine—a common occurrence with softcover adhesive bindings from this period. Despite this, the pages remain clean and the overall structural integrity allows for careful reading and display. For the modern vintage enthusiast, this book serves as both a historical reference and a unique piece of "slow living" decor. It would look right at home on a vintage oak desk or tucked into a collection of 20th-century non-fiction. Whether you are a student of communication or a collector of signed first-era prints, this volume captures the intellectual spirit of the late seventies.
