Publication: New York, John Wiley & Sons, 1989
Formatting: 8vo, pp. 631.
Condition Report: Near Fine. The volume presents exceptionally well, bound in the original green publisher's cloth which remains remarkably sharp, tight, and completely free of significant shelf-wear. The dark brown spine panel is unfaded, and the gilt tooling remains brilliant and entirely unoxidised. The text block is robust, maintaining a rigid, square profile with crisp, bright pages internally, entirely devoid of foxing, age-toning, or institutional stamps. Accompanied by its original dust jacket, which is in Very Good condition, displaying only minor rubbing and a few negligible creases to the extreme top edge, whilst remaining remarkably bright and unclipped. An exceptional, collector-grade example of a scientific monograph that is almost exclusively found in worn ex-library condition.
Catalogue Note: This is a true first edition, first printing, as confirmed by the complete number line down to '1' present on the publisher's copyright page. It was issued as Volume 104 in the esteemed 'Chemical Analysis: A Series of Monographs on Analytical Chemistry and Its Applications', under the editorial direction of J. D. Winefordner and I. M. Kolthoff.
While copies of this text frequently surface on the secondary market, they are almost universally heavily stamped, discarded institutional copies or expensive, modern print-on-demand reproductions. Encountering a genuinely pristine, unmarked first edition in its original dust jacket is uncommonly scarce on the open market, making this an ideal copy for a dedicated pharmaceutical archive or scientific library.
In this comprehensive monograph, Dr. Satinder Ahuja delivers a critical examination of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), focusing intensely on the practical methodologies required to optimise selectivity and detectability in complex chemical analyses. Written for analytical chemists and pharmaceutical researchers, the work synthesises advanced separation techniques, offering indispensable insights into refining chromatographic precision for trace and ultratrace compound identification.

Book Condition Guide
| Condition | Description |
|---|---|
| New | A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage. |
| As New | The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years. |
| Fine | The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked. |
| Near Fine | The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition. |
| Very Good | The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present. |
| Good | A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy. |
| Fair | A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity. |
| Poor | A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance. |
