Fine.

An important survey of English marbled paper, with an essay by Wakeman accompanied by 34 original samples, including work by Richard J. Wolfe, Michael Mitchell, Douglas Cockerell and a number of historic examples. A title which is already scarce in commerce, the special edition with 7 additional samples is exceptionally so.
