Fine condition.

James D. Watson (1928–2025) was an American molecular biologist and geneticist best known for his role with Francis Crick in developing the double-helix model of DNA, drawing upon crucial experimental work by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and their significance for the transfer of information in living material. Watson later served for decades at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and authored the influential memoir The Double Helix.
