The "Manual of Articulatory Phonetics" by William A. Smalley, published by Practical Anthropology in 1968, is a revised edition that offers a comprehensive guide to the field of phonetics. This edition, photolithoprinted by Cushing-Malloy, Inc., Ann Arbor, Michigan, features cartoons by George Ivan Smith, adding a unique visual element to the linguistic content. Initially copyrighted in parts from 1961 to 1964, this 1968 printing remains a valuable resource for students and professionals in linguistics. The book is an ex-library copy, as indicated by the library stamp, and is bound in a softcover, which shows signs of wear. The focus on articulatory phonetics makes it a specialized text for those interested in the mechanics of speech sounds. Despite the condition, this edition is a noteworthy find for collectors and scholars due to its specific focus and historical context.
