Condition Continued: I saw one with a crinkle on it, and the first few pages have a speck-sized nick at their outer edge, no tears. There are no markings in the book. There is one attachment. It's off the top edge of the front inside cover. It states 'From The Library of Goldye & Ben Meltzer.' There's no writing to be found anywhere in the book.

'Pointillism is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image.
Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886, branching from Impressionism. The term 'Pointillism' was coined by art critics in the late 1880s to ridicule the works of these artists, but is now used without its earlier pejorative connotation. The movement Seurat began with this technique is known as Neo-impressionism. The Divisionists used a similar technique of patterns to form images, though with larger cube-like brushstrokes.'
