with a gilt spine, title page cover and page edges, beautiful colour prints of the often unique items mounted on the pages, complete with sturdy slipcase, spine slightly discoloured by light (actually of no importance), probably produced in only a
few copies for a select few customers/friends/partners, probably around the early 1980s, "luxury" does not do justice to this ingenious "objet d'art", superior in every way. "(Image 1)
