    Volume 1 - 1st printing. By Heinrich Kley. Foreword by Michael Wm. Kaluta. Introduction by Alexander Kunkel. Volume One focuses on Kley's ink drawings, and reprints for the first time a substantial selection of his illustration work for children's books and adult genre fiction, a side of Kley's career previously unexplored in other collections. This volume also includes a wide sampling of Kley's cartoons and magazine work, with newly collected examples taken directly from a variety of rare sources such as "Jugend," "Simplicissimus," and the historic "Der Orchideengarten" (the world's first fantasy fiction magazine). In all, more than 300 Kley illustrations and cartoons fill this first volume. Softcover, 226 pages, B&W.

    Volume 2, 1st printing - Paintings and Sketches. By Heinrich Kley. Foreword by Joseph V. Procopio. Introduction by Alexander Kunkel. Volume Two breaks new ground by being the first book to present a large number of Kley's paintings and preparatory drawings, some reproduced directly from the original art. These color works reveal a heretofore rarely glimpsed pool of talents, and expanded on the subject matter traditionally associated with the artist by including examples of his landscapes and industrial paintings. Softcover, 140 pages, B&W with some color illustrations.
