This book is out of print. It's a large, luxurious book with high-quality paper. I purchased this used copy in excellent condition and have stored it in a dark place as part of my collection. The cover, text, and obi (sleeve) are all in excellent condition with no scratches, creases, or yellowing. Each spread features a close-up on the left and a full view with commentary on the right. There are also a few paintings by artists other than Redouté. I am a non-smoker. Please refrain from negotiating prices unless purchasing multiple items.
