Great Pietro it is a handy go-to. I bought a facsimile book version a few years back from India it is not too bad to look through - its one major drawback was the transparency pages with the guard numbers were not printed, so it was very difficult to work out which attribution applied to each picture. The PDF at least has these numbers. The cheapest copy is around $30 [you can than insert the image numbers]- The original book is getting close to $1,000. US. at that price I would be afraid to open the cover.
