Does anyone know how many volumes were produced?  I have Vol 1 and it lists a whole bunch more "future" editions so I was just wondering how many actually got published.

"The Art of Brass" volumes are both rare and by far the best reference works available regarding production items in the brass market from Japan (at least up to their publication date). The print run was small and even the original selling price was very high for the time...and worth every penny, by the way..
