Thumbs up

Just bought the book and it's great !

I wonder if it will become as scarce (and expensive) as the one with the same name in French, published in 1992 for an African weapons exhibition held in Brussels : Beauté Fatale or Dodelijk mooi (in Dutch).

Recently one of these books was sold for over 230 Euro (322 US $).....and that wasn't even expensive. I've seen the price for that book go much higher.

Perhaps this new book will turn out to be a good investment for the future.
