Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice book in great condition. Pages in excellent condition. No notes or highlighting. Dustcover has some wear but actual book looks little used. See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> The vast amount of swindling plaguing the international art market is, by itself, more than sufficient justification for the publication of information useful for the detection of fraud. It would be unfortunate, however, if this book were read primarily in the light of the dubious, for its primary concern is the genuine. After all fakes are detected by the genuine. Fakes have only rarely been the subject of Shakespearean scale tragedies. What may be fascinating in the human drama is not necessarily fascinating for the professional. As an object of study, forgeries very soon become boring. Bredius, Hofstede de Groot, Friedl?nder, Hulin de Loo and Berenson were once called the 'popes' of art expertise. It is right to honour these illustrious authorities, as well as many less famous names. Their work lay in pioneering. Their knowledge and insight are still being used, and rightly so. Their misconceptions and errors, since brought to light by continuing.

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
