Takato Yamamoto's "Altar of Narcissus" was originally published in 2002 with the first major reprint issued in 2007. Over the years, the colors and precision has drifted a bit with subsequent reprints.

This limited edition has only 300 pieces printed and includes silver colors on the cardboard sleeve as well as different color fabric cover and end papers.
SIGNED inside the front cover with special notation in the publishing notes "300 limited color version".
Book is dark gray silk (second photo) with a cardboard sleeve with a circle cut out (first photo) so you can view the artwork on the actual book cover. Full color and black and white plates.
