GLI ADORNATORI DEL LIBRO IN ITALIA
by Ratta, Cesare

Text in Italian. Limited to an edition of 500. Forty-two page section devoted to the works of Adolfo de Carolis. This is followed by 237 pages of examples from many different artists. The book is very worn, most of the pages are loose, wrapper edges tattered. It is protected by a portfolio that is interesting in its own right as the backstrip is holographic.
