The original edition (fall 2012) quickly sold out its 3000 copies at $185; this edition offers the same content in a slightly smaller trim size (8.5 x 10.25" vs 10.25 x 14.75") at the vastly more affordable price of $75.
Widely acclaimed from the Wall Street Journal to the New York Daily News, the book features popular subject matter and big, beautiful pictures to make it accessible to a wide audience.
Perfect for lovers of illuminated manuscripts and of animals real and imaginary.
