They reprint the sketchbooks unedited, so they include a separate booklet translating all the text into German. The book is housed in a chipboard slipcase with a title label affixed to the \"spine\" of the slipcase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cardboard slipcase is Near Fine (toning and browning to the spine and edges) and the German translation booklet is also Near Fine (age toned and possibly slightly foxed).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zweitausendeins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51227832353066,"sku":"72653","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/2879\/4922\/files\/FBE53B21-6770-42DC-A853-7AC3EE943D47.jpg?v=1773264405","url":"https:\/\/stuartngbooks.com\/products\/r-crumb-sketchbook-nov-1974-to-jan-1978-72653","provider":"Stuart Ng Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
