Atlas of the Ear

Aural Atlas, edited by Samuel J. Kipetzky (HC, 1946, $3)

Included are 49 color plates of both normal and diseased ears.

I also found interesting the ads in the back of the book. Auralgan Research Division, the publisher, offered both 16 mm. Sound and Color Films, as well as  Colored Magic Lantern slides(!)  free for rental to any educational group of larger than 20 people. Auralgan will even supply "the film, projector, sound equipment, screen and competent operator... wherever such facilities are not available." That generosity makes me wonder if this book was even sold, or was just distributed gratis for educational purposes.

Look for this book on the new non-fiction table, avail. 1/11.   (Later: in the med. section)
