Subtitled "Her books, painted book covers and bookplates"

The translation was by Walter Middelmann and Geoffrey Wittenberg.

Despite running to only viii + 56 pp, this book has information and illustrations - mostly in colour - of the artist's work in these fields not available elsewhere.

Laminated colour dustjacket, colour endpapers (from Stern's painting on the cover of her copy of Olive Schreiner's "Story of an African Farm"), frontispiece, preface, biographical essay, the painted book-covers and bookplates, including 21 plates of her ex libris paintings, acknowledgments and bibliography.

A fine unmarked copy.
