Very good soft cover binding with a cloth spine. Library pocket, some laid in related items, with dust cover. Dj is not as shiny as the one in the stock photo here at Amazon. Please see my photos. 320 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Reprint edition stated. LAR RESEARCH EDITION: Which is a university library reprinted reading copy, (essentially a color copy). Dj is mylar protected. Some soil on the ends of pages where book has been sitting or touched, bumped corners, but all relatively minor. Very nice copy of this scarce book. Ideal for fans or collectors. Features all sorts of pottery made by Picasso.
