The First Edition XL of "The Pedro Almodóvar Archives" Collection, published by Taschen in 2012. It is a specimen of exceptional importance for film collectors and bibliophiles.
THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS SPECIMEN (THE HYBRID):
This copy is a rare "hybrid": it is one of the very first printings of the Italian version (ISBN 9783836534529) in which Taschen inserted the original frames, before removing them from subsequent reprints. It combines the rarity of the first world printing with the advantage of the text in Italian.
