FFEP neat ownership name, address, city & gift note. Contents very clean. No pages or plates are missing, but the listing of the twelve paintings (intended as the color representation of Preuss in the book) belies the fact that one of these paintings is printed b&w. I believe the Preuss "drawings" in the book also are mostly paintings reproduced in b&w for this publication. Very Good. Signed by Author.
