Dear Librarians,

Yesterday afternoon Abrams reported to us that they now have only
about 30 copies of their recently released publication of the
collected writings of Werner Spies remaining in their warehouse, and
they warn that any libraries still interested in acquiring this title
should order promptly.

WERNER SPIES: THE EYE AND THE WORD -- COLLECTED WRITINGS ON ART AND
LITERATURE, THE GAGOSIAN EDITION. Translation of Auge und Wort:
Gesammelte Schriften zu Kunst und Literatur (Berlin University Press,
2008). Werner Spies. Ed. by Thomas W. Gaehtgens. Abrams, New York.
Published in association with Berlin University Press and Gagosian
Gallery, New York, 2011. LC 2010-934623 ISBN 978-0-8109-9835-3 In English.
Ten volumes / Hardcover, boxed $250.00 (less 20% library
discount through Worldwide)
Worldwide Item: 142723

As previously announced to our clients in Worldwide's monthly
electronic newsletter, only 250 copies of this important 10-volume
set were made available to Abrams for U.S. distribution, and
apparently only 500 copies in total were produced for sale worldwide.
As the first English-language edition of the collected writings of
this prominent curator and critic, it is an important publication
that many art libraries will want to acquire.

Worldwide has offered the title since it was released in February,
and we still have a limited number of copies on hand. However, Abrams
anticipates that their stock may be depleted within the next few
weeks, if not days, and we wanted to alert libraries to the situation
before it is declared to be out of print. The publication is very
economically priced considering that it is a ten-volume set; I have
attached a PDF with more information on the title. Orders may be
submitted directly to Worldwide through our Web site. The set is of
course also available through other sources.
