So far I have read the first 5 pages and couldn't be happier with the quality! Pages are thick! Pictures are HD, the first part so far is history with bragging thrown in. Some cool statements and I have learned some stuff I didn't know before. Can't wait to get into it deeper! But this is the highest quality book I have ever owned, it's massive, heavy, leather, comes with a hard cover that's also black and leather. (Not sure if it's real leather but looks damn good) I ate my words on the book for sure! Worth every penny!!I haven't owned an Assouline book before but from their rep it shouldn't be too fragile, I'd hope.
That sucks balls...
I have a fair-sized library as well (though these days I really only read e-books). For me, a key aspect of a collectable book is being a first edition. I'm hoping the copyright page on this denotes it as such.
