Comments:
- Both the measurements and the weight are approximate.
- To make the photos of the interior pages, these have been held with tweezers.
- Because it is inevitable the differences of tonalities between photos and reality, you must bear in mind that the tones of the colours in the photos are not exactly the same as the tones of the real colours.
- The book for sale is the one corresponding to the photos, which in turn are complemented in this Description, with the aim of providing a better knowledge of the Object, and never being a detailed exhibition of it.
