It is the artists' work to bring this about."
Sections on Chris Castle, Bob Chaplin, Adrian Hall, James Howie, Maryrose Pilcher, Paul Neagu, Joseph Reeder and Keir Smith. Again illustrated throughout. This second volume has a hand-written dedication by Demarco to "Rob and Cecilia Huntington/with good wishes". Both fine.
PRIUCE IS FOR BOTH AS A PAIR.
