Discussions on style, technique, symbolism, form, and traditions.

This book was recently re-issued in a shorter (208 pages), less lavish edition. You may want to get this older edition as well, for the illustrations alone - they are gorgeous! COLLECTORS NOTE: many of the color illustrations are tipped in (that is, printed separately and adhered only at the corners). Some may have been removed over the years, as they are suitable for framing. You may want to inquire as to whether they are all present before purchasing your copy. A real treasure, and a fine example of bookmaking.
