The print and paper quality of this book are very good. My book is used and the binding is in excellent condition. The book is an improved republication of the Breitkopf & Hartel edition with larger note heads and more space for entering notes and your own fingering as no fingering is in the print. This edition series by Dover takes the original four volumes and puts them into a very convenient set of two volumes.You can find most of the pieces for the piano solos at IMSLP.org.
