This is part of the German series of sketchbooks, published by Zweitausendeins. This volume was published in 1981, over a decade before Fantagraphics started publishing their version. This is a beautiful hardcover book in a slipcase. Great design. And comes with a German translation book. The condition of the book is like new. The slipcase has a bit of wear, but is also in great condition. A wonderful package overall
