Detailed Condition Report

• 1965 Linear Algebra Textbook:

• Grade: Like New / Near Mint.

• Details: The cover is remarkably crisp with no visible corner wear or spine fading. Pages are clean, white, and free of any underlining, highlighting, or marginalia.

• 3D Anaglyph Glasses & Booklet:

• Status: Unused / Museum Quality.

• Details: The original cardboard 3D glasses remain in their factory-fresh state with no creases or "arm" fatigue. The red/cyan lenses are clear and free of scratches, ensuring the 3D effect works perfectly. The accompanying booklet is flat with sharp corners and no "thumbing" marks.

NASA Provenance Items (Cards & ID):

• Condition: Excellent / Archive Grade.

Details: The NASA business cards and PhD ID card show only the slightest natural aging typical of 60-year-old paper. There are no stains, water damage, or significant ink fading. They have been stored inside the book, protected from light and handling.

The 3D anaglyphs and brochures in this set provide a rare visual "laboratory" for understanding complex math. In the 1960s, these were cutting-edge tools used to help students and researchers like Mr. Williams visualize how linear algebra transforms physical space

Provenance & Legacy: The NASA Collection of Mr. Williams

This volume is more than a textbook; it is a piece of American aerospace history. It was part of the personal professional library of Mr. Williams (Canton, OH), a dedicated researcher and PhD who served with NASA during the height of the space program.

Mr. Williams passed away in early 2025, and it is my hope that this collection finds a home with someone who appreciates the rigorous mathematical foundations that powered the lunar missions.

Included with this item to verify its history:

• Original NASA Business Cards: Historical cards belonging to Mr. Williams, showcasing his role and the NASA insignia.

• NASA PhD Owner’s Card: A rare piece of identification/membership that confirms his academic and professional standing.

• Original Ephemera: All original 3D anaglyph glasses, brochures, and booklets that Mr. Williams kept preserved with this volume
