From the catalogue introduction: “Our 2nd catalogue – prepared by Aart van Barneveld, Michael Gibbs and Ulises Carrión – appears nearly one year later than our first one. The rapid growth of the stock, as well as the increasing activities organised or held at Other Books & So, are the causes of this delay. We apologise to all our subscribers and declare our firm intention to do better in the future.”
In excellent condition.
