Harry S. CROSSEN - Operative Gynecology - 1915 1st Ed

Description: I am a retired ObGyn and medical historian who has collected books and instruments for over 40 years. Age and downsizing have prompted me to pass along my items to younger collectors with the space to display them. As time permits, I will be listing approximately 300 books and over 100 instruments on eBay. This is an original 1915 1st edition of Harry Crossens' "Operative Gynecology". 770 Original Illustrations. 670 pp. Hardbound in burgundy cloth with gold stamping on the spine. The cover shows mild shelf wear but the boards and pages are tight, and the pages unmarked. It measures ~10 x 7 x 1.75", and weighs ~ 4 lb 15 oz. Overall in very good condition. Please look at the photos. Harry Sturgeon Crossen (1869-1951) was a gynecologist at the Washington University Medical School in St. Louis. Born in the Midwest and trained in St. Louis, he developed a technique independent of Kelly's Johns Hopkins approach, although he must have been influenced by the many German-trained ObGyns who had migrated to the St. Louis area. This is a wonderfully-illustrated book, emphasizing the vaginal approach more than Kelly. Crossen was one the first authors to devote a chapter to the Medico-Legal aspects of surgery. This is a great addition to any ObGyn's library. I will ship U.S.P.S. Media Mail. International sales will be handled by eBay. I will do my best to ship items A.S.A.P., and let you know if there are any delays. Please be patient: this is a one-man operation selling things I own out of my house, not a business. If you have any concerns about the transaction, please contact me before leaving negative feedback. Thank you.
