Germany on the work have usually been very good. There are many collections there who own my works, so I think you will find that the book will sell. The front of the jacket which you mention owes a great deal to my wife's 'detail' photo. - I look forward to seeing the completed 'Lichte welt'. My wife speaks very highly of all dealings with Belser Verlag!" (1 page, autogr. envelope attached). - Introduction by J. Russel in German and English, translation by B. Weitbrecht. - Spine faded.
