This is a Brand New, Pristine Condition 2013 Craigie Aitchison - Prints: a Catalogue Raisonné Presumed 1st Edition Hardcover. I opened one to take the inside pictures, and the person that gets the last copy will get that, still pristine, but opened, copy.
Synopsis:
The painter and printmaker Craigie Aitchison (1926–2009) is best known for his spare compositions and intense, luminous palette. His subject matter is equally distinctive―single flowers, Bedlington terriers, sheep, and crucifixions―rendered, as in the Italian religious icons that he so admired, in simple but powerful forms. These hallmarks are readily present in Aitchison’s prints, most of which are the legacy of his longstanding relationship with the master printers at Advanced Graphics, London. All the prints are brought together for the first time in this handsome catalogue raisonné, which also includes an introduction by Andrew Lambirth exploring the importance of printmaking in Aitchison’s career.
Andrew Lambirth is art critic for The Spectator and a long-time friend of Craigie Aitchison. His many books include Nigel Hall: Sculpture and Works on Paper and Barbara Rae: Prints.

FREE Domestic Expertly Packaged Economy Shipping. Shipping weight about 3 pounds 15 ounces. International Shipping ok. eBay is apparently unable to calculate multiple item shipping, so if you want to know ahead of time the shipping cost for multiple purchases, let me know. If you don't, I will invoice you for the least cost possible, which would probably be the Large Flat Rate Box.
I will combine shipping on all my items. If you have a question about shipping costs for a specific mix of items, please don't hesitate to email me for a shipping cost quote. If you choose to then buy the items, please wait until I send you an invoice before paying for the items for your combined shipping quote or you might send excess shipping payments that ebay will charge a non-refundable fee for.
International shipping ok. The ebay and USPS delivery estimates are wildly optimistic. My experience is that international shipping will take 10 - 21+ days until delivery. Only Express Mail has a chance to meet the delivery estimate. INTERNATIONAL SHIPPERS NOTE: I cannot determine or pay any duties or know about quarantine your country may impose on any of my items. Please check with your local post office BEFORE buying or bidding so you don't get any unwelcome surprises.. Please select your shipping option when buying.
INSURANCE NOTE: I try to insure every shipment of $20.00 or more by ebay's insurance. Unfortunately, 2012 postal regulations forbid insurance on certain types of postal shipping services to various countries. Also, unfortunately, I now usually only find out whether an item can be insured when I go to make out the shipping label. If insurance is incredibly important to you, email me before bidding and I will try to see if the least expensive shipping service can be insured. An example of the international differences is that at this time, Canada apparently forbids insurance on all postal service levels except Express Mail Parcels. In contrast, I have been able to insure First Class Parcels to both Argentina and Switzerland. I do not personally insure anything. UNINSURED SHIPMENTS ARE SENT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
If you look at my ratings, you will note that only 2% of the sellers on ebay have my dual distinction. I have earned these ratings by being an honest, accurate and fast shipping seller. If you have ANY question or concern, please contact me through ebay messages and NOT through the paypal email address, as I only check that address monthly. I will answer most ebay messages in less than 1 day, and all in 2 days.
Returns accepted. I always have confirmation that I have shipped.
Local pickup ok for all my items.
Alternate payment methods ok if no paypal account as indicated below.
Please peruse my other items in my ebay store 'The Anachron' by clicking on the red icon near the top of the listing. If you subscribe to my newsletter, you will receive email notices on newly listed items and upcoming sales.
All books are wrapped, usually in a water-resistant wrap. Then they are wrapped tightly in heavy, usually double thick, cardboard to ensure that there is no rubbing or damage from shipping or rough handling.
