Scope and Contents

Francois Woimant who contributed an essay writes, "...The French National Library's Cabinet des Estampes contains one of the largest public collections of artists' books in the world, second only in size to that held at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. ... today totals approximately 4000 works." Woimant's estimate of the collection size is based upon mass distributed artist books, not the one of a kind book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
