Both volumes worn, vol. 1 fore head of front board bumped, sound and fresh internally. From the personal library of prominent librarian and notable Bibliophile, Theodore Koch, who was head librarian at the University of Michigan and Northwestern. With his bookplates to both pastedowns and ownership signature to vol. 1 front blank, signed in pen 'Theo. Wesley Koch, Phila, Penna.' The book was inherited by his daughter, namely Dorothy Alden Koch, an educator and Nurse Practitioner. Dorothy once remarked that her father 'ran a library pretty damn well, surmounted budget crisis and space crunches, added to the collection of books, increased the circulation... anything and everything that might possibly have a bearing on a better library where more people could get into immediate, direct contact with books." She signed it under her maiden name in pencil on the rear flyleaf, and later applied the mutual bookplate shared with her husband, Arthur E. Bestor. Arthur was a prominent intellectual and historian of American communal utopias, educational systems, and constitutional law. GOOD.
