The book itself, designed in the best traditions of publishing art, aroused great interest among the book community: stores, libraries and buyers.

Great design, high-quality printing, decent content – all this makes the book worthy of any library in the world.

The edition was sold out almost in two months. The anniversary edition has all chances to become a bibliographic rarity.
