Plume, New York, 2004, 1st pr thus.  ISBN 0-452-28525-9.  Trade soft cover, 422 pages including Notes, Appendix, Picture Credits and Index.  Very good; unread copy with light edge and cover wear, sticker removal scar on front wrap; a few light impressions.  Interior clean and unmarked with lightly tanned pages; black & white photos, illustrations and figures.  ‘In 1859 Bernhard Riemann, a little-known thirty-two-year-old mathematician, made an incidental remark while presenting a paper … to the Berlin Academy.  He tossed out a guess, a hypothesis, which has proven to be almost cruelly compelling to countless scholars ever since. … Yet despite determined efforts by generations of mathematicians, Reimann’s Hypothesis defies resolution.’ (from rear wrap)
