About This Item
Los Angele, CA: J. Paul Getty Museum, 2008. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Hardcover bound in brown cloth lettered in gold, in publisher's pictorial dust-jacket. 304 pages. Notes, Bibliography, Index. Profusely illustrated with 139 color and 127 black and white photographs. First edition. No previous ownership marks. Curiously, roughly two dozen leaves are clipped at bottom fore-edge corner, not affecting text or images. Whether a binders error of an overzealous former owner, all the cuts are at the same angle, though not the same overall area. Else a clean, tight, fresh and unmarked copy. Still very good or better in a very good+ dust-jacket. .
