"The novel [i.e. The marble faun], as a useful guide to Rome, is the Tauchnitz book most often found extensively extra-illustrated with photographs and bound in elaborately decorated vellum ... Regrettably Italian binders in this process habitaully deleted half-titles and thus denied their volumes entry into the present record ..."--W.B. Todd, p. 128.
