1998ABE-1643449235501Grolier Club 1998 This highly sought after Grolier Club First Edition has been reprinted but this is the FIRST edition from 1998. It has a slight crease on the stiff card wrap but otherwise it is Near Fine. I was lucky to see this brilliant exhibition and it is typical of the Grolier Club to produce so thorough a work. Written before the absurd puritans attacked this gentle mathematician it has a proper respect for the man who gave the world such enchantment. Clean and tight without inscriptions or marginal notes this is collectable. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. Grolier Club paperback

1988ABE-14604954559Swan Hill Press 1988 Extremely rare signed first edition of this magisterial artist's work. One grows tired of the appalling neglect of such a great painter; sought after by those who can tell which way up paintings should be and a glorious rebuke to those who can only take notice of officially approved art these gorgeous paintings will still enchant when the contemporary dross has been binned. A perfect first printing of the first hardback edition with Raymond Ching's elegant signature to the title page. Protected perfect jacket. Of interest to all who admire talent imagination and vision peerlessly expressed. My private and discrete blind stamp to the coloured end paper at the from is the only fault if fault it be.
