Modern quarter blue morocco, marbled boards, gilt-lettered spine, uncut. FIRST EDITION. "Mler demonstrated, on the basis of self-observation and experimentation, that the visual system reacts not only to external optical stimuli but to internal stimuli caused by organic disorders or the workings of the imagination.
