The book itself is beautiful: interior pages and color plates appear to be flawless, with a neatly written gift inscription on first free endpaper; boards and spine are clean and unfaded with no apparent wear; bright red Skira "S" on front and rear boards, LAUTREC on spine; dust jacket has no tears or chips; there are creases along top and bottom edges with some scuffs on front and back. The book opens as if it was seldom read, and binding is tight enough to make satisfactory picture-taking of interior plates difficult.
