This acclaimed book is now being reworked from scratch. We expect the reproduction of the pictures to be of a higher quality and we intend to include more images from the authors' first collection. Last published in 1993 and out of print for some considerable time, we anticipate a significant demand for this updated edition of what was a very popular book.
