Good. Good condition. A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains.
Although the coloring on the plates is not very good, even sometimes being a different color than the original, the comments about the paintings are good and the selection satisfactory enough to enable the reader to better understand this facet of the artist's work.
