One Of A Kind
This offprint is unique because it is from the personal library of Dr. Claude Shannon. Dr. Shannon is considered to be the Father of Information Theory and was involved in the earliest research into Artificial Intelligence.
In addition, the cover of this offprint has a hand-written inscription from the author, F. A. Fisher, to Dr. Shannon.
Our collection currently has several other items from Dr. Shannon's personal library.
