Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Orange cloth; dust jacket; publisher's pictorial slipcase; square 4to; pp. 73, [3], with full-color full-page illustrations facing musical scores; plus a book of lyrics and a vinyl record (33) in sleeve inside rear board. Spine tips lightly rubbed; bottom corner bumped, resulting in slight wrinkle throughout text block; a few tiny specks of soiling along edges of text block (nowhere infringing into the margins or text itself). Dust jacket lightly wrinkled and scuffed along the edges; some bubbling in the laminate on rear panel and along joints. Slipcase is chipped, bumped, and worn -- but presentable. Contents (text block, book of lyrics, record) are fine. An excellent copy of this rich look at Latin Hymns of the Bohemian Gothic and Renaissance Periods, with full-color reproductions from a Czech illuminated manuscript, and introduction in German, English, and French. Number 163 from an unspecified press run.
