We have recently received inquiries from a few of our customers regarding the "missing" prospectus that is thought to accompany the book Transfigurations: North Pacific Coast Art (Marquand Books, Seattle, 2006). It appears that at least one library has catalogued the book with a notation that a 32-page prospectus is laid in, and apparently other libraries have copied that catalog record -- though at least one library has recorded it as a 16-page prospectus, and a few libraries note that their copies are missing the prospectus. We have contacted the publisher, who assures us that they did not produce any form of insert or companion volume that is intended to accompany the book. In advance of the book's release, Marquand Books did produce a handsome promotional brochure in the same format as the book (31 x 35 cm) that included several sample pages from the publication as a sort of mock-up. We suspect that perhaps this is the "prospectus" referred to, though the brochure has 20 pages (16 pages not counting the cover), not 32. Sample catalog record mentioning the mystery "prospectus": Title: Transfigurations : North Pacific coast art : George Terasaki, collector / text, Steven Clay Brown Published: Seattle : Marquand Books, c2006. Physical Description: [248] p. : col. ill. ; 32 x 35 cm. + Includes: 1 prospectus ([32] p. : col. ill. ; 31 x 35 cm.). Prospectus laid in In any event, please note that the publisher did not produce any companion volume or insert that was intended to accompany the book. Kelly Fiske ______________ Mr. Kelly M.
