This new "Scholar's Edition" contains two volumes (in the same form as the original edition) within two books, with 622 pages, and with all the original photos, drawings, and illustrations as drawn by Tons Brunes himself. Our goal was to publish the two books so that they would open flat and maintain their mechanical integrity (stay together even after years of use), maintain their literary integrity (no editing, no abridgements, no removals of text or illustrations), and continue to be affordable. So, we have bound this new edition in a Spiral Binding. We do not expect to release any other version of this work in the near future, so this is the only option available.
