Wehle. For No. 6 which takes up two pages, it was necessary to create fo=

sical ornamentation and embellishments. And it is a treasure for anyone w=
ho wants a clear and easy to read copy of the first edition.

igh quality book in DIN A4 format with a plastic ring binding so that it =
opens and stays opened easily. The price is 12 Euros (about USD 15.12 at =
the moment) plus postage (2 Euros to USA by sea/land or 6 Euros by air fo=
