The book was until recently still available in paperback from the USA branch of Thames and Hudson, but now appears to be out of print in all editions and in all countries.

Beware – this is a large and heavy book and would cost a fortune to send abroad. If you are outside the U.K. and are thinking about buying it, please email us first on enquiries@monkshillbooks.co.uk and we will quote a price for postage.
