For Sale: Book - Optical Fibers by Takanori Okoshi

I am auctioning a hardbound book titled Optical Fibers by Takanori Okoshi and published by Academic Press ISBN is 0-12-525260-9 on Ebay. To the best of my knowledge it is no longer available in print. I purchased this book new, and it is still in as-new condition. Copies that are not in perfect condition are currently listed on Abebooks.com for $44.00 to $175.00.

The Ebay Link is:

An excerpt from the preface to the book reads "This book describes the theoretical basis (electomagnetic theories) of transmission characteristics of optical fibers. The material and fabrication technologies are not described systematically, but only briefly where necessary to assist comprehension of transmission characteristics. ....... This book is entitled simply "Optical Fibers." If a more lengthy but descriptive title were preferable, it would be "Analysis and Design of Optical Fibers"."

Table of Contents:

1. Introduction
2. Basic Concepts and Equations
3. Ray Theory of Optical Fibers
