I am concerned with the health and envionmental's issues about lead and would like to have another Master's point of view on this technical aspect.

I wish I could pin people as well as this !<br />As far as the books are concerned, we never know what struggles are indeed behind the editing aspects. There could be a lots of reasons why they are so expensive. But trully, I never regret my investment. I could almost find in every single page something that is worth re-writting in my studio to remember. I love them...
