Some years ago I reluctantly parted with my copy of The Très Riches Heures in the magnificent 1969 edition published by George Braziller, and I'd been missing it ever since. So it was with considerable anticipation that I ordered this new Braziller hardcover edition from at a terrific price. (The same book sells for $125 at the George Braziller website.)Unfortunately, the 2008 edition, printed and bound in Singapore by Tien Wah Press, bears little resemblance to the stunning 1969 version published in France by Draeger Frères, Paris.The illustrated slipcase is gone, replaced with a glossy paper dust jacket. Most critically, many pictures are out of focus--disastrous for these highly detailed and delicate miniatures. The colors are no longer clean and vibrant, and the use of gold (gilt) is gone, and with it, much of the artwork's radiant, other-worldly atmosphere.Additionally, the informative commentaries, which originally appeared on the facing pages, are now lumped together at the back of the book. Not an improvement, in my opinion.I suspect what we're dealing with here is simply a hardback copy of the 1989 paperback edition which Publishers Weekly, in its review reproduced above on this Product Page, describes in extremely negative, and accurate, terms. [Two different 13-digit ISBN numbers appear on the hardcover's dust jacket: the number on the back inside flap is in fact the same as the paperback edition (!) while the number on the back cover refers to this new hardback.]In short, I am disappointed that George Braziller has reissued one of its most celebrated fine art books in such a poor quality edition.
