The Arts of Central Asia: the Pelliot Collection in the Musee Guimet: :

Edited by Jaques Gies, and translated by Hero Friesen and Roderick Whitfield.

600 boxed sets of the two-volume French edition were originally issued, but only 250 copies of the English edition as a third volume were printed for Serindia Publications (London) in 1996. The first two clothbound volumes are in their original slipcase and outer cardboard box, and are in mint condition having never been opened, although the outer cardboard box on the third English volume has been opened. But all three volumes are in their original brand new condition and are thus an extremely rare and collectable set that will continue to increase in value.

Boxed set of Volumes I and II measures 18 x 11 x 4 inches, and weights 6.2 kg.
And Boxed set of Volume III measures 18 x 11 x 3 inches, and weighs 5.6 kg.

PRICE GBP £2,290 Including Postage
