From Taschen's website: "This Sumo publication, A Bigger Book is a majestic visual survey of David Hockney's art. In it, Hockney takes stock of more than 60 years of work, from his teenage days at art school up to his recent extensive series of portraits, iPad drawings, and Yorkshire landscapes. Never before has Hockney's oeuvre been published in such scope, with such investment from the artist, and on such an astonishing and immersive scale" (https://www.taschen.com/en/limited-editions/art/02641/david-hockney-a-bigger-book/).

Very minor edge wear to jacket and boards; interior with minor spot to limitation, rare subtle scuff, and occasional minor indentation or offsetting at outer margin from fold-outs; jacket with a few scratches and expected light offsetting to interior from upper board; stand with some scattered scuffs and scratches from use; chronology book still in shrink wrap. About near fine with very good stand.
